This is a particular thing, you know, catholic stories of martyrs who had their head removed and then continued to be miraculous in the last moments of their life.

I've got a small, loyal audience, which is great. And I appreciate that. They're there for me every time.

I can remember back as far as age 8, performing with the Boston Folk Song Society. It was a Woody Guthrie song.

I'm not saying that people have to listen to rock music. It's a great, cool thing and it can really be liberating for a lot of people but, hey, so can Charles Dickens so I'm not going to judge.

Bob Dylan is quite a songwriter, and a great singer and musician. I won't bother with comparing myself to him, but I will say that I heard his records at a very young age and I still listen to all his records.

I don't like to have everything all worked out in my head because there's always a chance of it coming out different than you think it should anyway.

My most cryptic, strange songs might be my most personal, but that isn't how people are going to receive them, because they don't know the code.
