If you don't like my fire, then don't come around. Cause I'm gonna burn one down.

Forever always seems to be around when it begins, but forever never seems to be around when it ends

Every single time I step into the studio, I say, 'Can I still do this? Do I still have it? Have I ever had it?' I suppose there's a good amount of self-loathing that goes into any form of artisanship.

I grew up with the Blind Boys' music. My family owns a music store in Claremont, California, called The Claremont Folk Music Center. I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel, folk, and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.

If I'm inspired and music inspires me, then I will continue to play it.

Life's the longest picture you're ever gonna take.

There's only one proper way a song should go, but you've got to be patient enough to let them come together time wise. Sometimes it's lightning in a bottle and you got the song. But oftentimes it shows up.
