I feel really good about the future and working with people.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.

My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything, people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.

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

Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?

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

I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.
