You don't have to look a certain way to have a hit record.

There's nothing like living a long time to create a depth and soulfulness in your music.

Quakers are known for wanting to give back. Ban the bomb and the civil rights movement and the native American struggle for justice - those things were very, very front-burner in my childhood, as were the ideas of working for peace and if you have more than you need, then you share it with people who don't.

I made my first album, and I guess it wasn't a fluke, because now I'm on my 16th.

How I measure success is getting to make another record and being able to the come back to the same town and play again cause you sold out the last time.
