With slide guitar, you're just hanging this piece of glass on your hand. It's a really beautiful instrument in that it's so responsive, you're just slipping your hand back and forth.

One of the things that I'm glad about, though, is that regular people can relate to me.

I just play the music that I love with musicians that I respect, and fortunately, I'm in a position where people are willing to play with me, and perhaps I can do something to help them.

I would love to see a revival of what we had against the war in the '60s - we could do these teach-ins on the internet, live and split screen, and have real in-depth debate between people that are on the "other" side of issues - nuclear, gun control, whatever. We could really be having a much more democratically involved and exciting debate with people emailing their questions and having a virtual town meeting.

Solar power is the last energy resource that isn't owned yet - nobody taxes the sun yet.

I just want to be as good a person as I can be.

I'll close my eyes, so I won't see, all of the love that you don't feel for me.
