Folk is bare bones music.
I've never made a record that didn't sound better than what was in my head - that's sort of my rule.
But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.
You have to do what you believe in.
I don't know how to not become every person I walk by.
You can't just say 'I love you,' you have to live 'I love you.'
