Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride/ You will not die, its not poison -Tombstone Blues

Happiness is not on my list of priorities. I just deal with day-to-day things. If I'm happy, I'm happy – and if I'm not, I don't know the difference... Knowing that you are the person you were put on this earth to be – that's much more important than just being happy.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am.

Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most.

The sun's not yellow, its chicken!

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected?

Folk songs are evasive-the truth about life, and life is more or less a lie, but then again that's exactly the way we want it to be. We wouldn't be comfortable with it any other way. A folk song has over a thousand faces and you must meet them all if you want to play this stuff. A folk song might vary in meaning and it might not appear the same from one moment to the next. It depends on who's playing and who's listening.
