My songs always sound a lot better in person than they do on the record.

Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.

America was founded on the backs of slaves.

Fame it's like... When you look through a window, say you pass a little pub, or an inn. You look through the window and you see people talking and carrying on. You,can watch outside the window and see them all being very real with each other. But when you walk into the room, it's over. I don't pay any attention to it.

I'm not a folk-singer. I just sing a certain place.

Even I don't know what I'm saying most of the time.

Seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar, there's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm.
