I appreciate that something I've done has found a safe place to land.

We're always moving forward in different places physically and psychologically.

Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.

That happens every time I get behind a guitar, regardless of what I'm saying, 'cause music is freedom and being free is the closest I've ever felt to being spiritual.

The advice I have for new artists is this - write great songs and play them live as often as possible. Get residencies all over town and crush it.

Fearlessness, absolutely. Discipline. You also need open-minded creativeness that lets everything in. You never want to lose a word or a phrase, yet every one should count. Always the best language possible. And, finally, knowing when to leave it alone. Stop when it's done.

My choice is what I choose to be.
