Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been.
Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.
My favorite time in music is probably 1970-75. Still Bill by Bill Withers, Harvest by Neil Young, John Prine's first album, James Taylor's One Man Dog-I hope I can bring the same sort of spirit I hear on those records.
I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.
I don't really hang out with a lot of celebrities.
You need a strong sense of 'otherness' to be able to create in your life.
