Different cultures have different audiences.

Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.

I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.

I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.
