“I'm a songwriter first, have always been, and probably always will be.”
As quoted in "Will you still love me tomorrow?" by Rachel Louis Snyder in Salon (19 June 1999) http://www.salon.com/people/feature/1999/06/19/king/index.html
Contexte: I'm a songwriter first, have always been, and probably always will be. Making the demo is a natural product of writing a song; after that, I'm happy to hear other people do it in other ways.
As quoted in "The King is Still Alive" in The Birmingham Post [England] (6 November 2001)
