Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Josh: If I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. It's my free drug.
-
Josh: (on why he chose music as a career) That's never been an easy question to answer. Music sort of chose me. I think that you gravitate toward things that you're supposed to do with your life. Music came easy to me and I've never tired of creating it or singing it.
-
Josh: (on his album "Special Company") It's about the whole emotional roller-coaster you go through before making the ultimate commitment of sharing your life with someone for the rest of your life. It was almost like free therapy.
-
Josh: I think the old-school 70s style music is coming back. That's because people are in more control of their careers than they were. In the 70s, people were in control of their careers. They were in control of melodies and it wasn't tainted. I think it's just a simple fact that things just come around full circle.
-
