Life is simple yet complex, in the complexity we realize everything is simple for we create our own happiness, our own sadness & our own destiny by not making a choice you have chosen so face life with courage and faith in yourself.

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

We can choose, you know, we ain't no amoeba.

I don't want to sound like a self-help book, but it really has been transformative for me to take a look at my relationships in a new way and see my part in them. Everybody's going through that.

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.

I don't go into any album with a concept or a deliberate direction. It's more letting the best music that really appeals to me at the time, the best songs that I find after many months and years of search and sifting through my collection, and asking radio people and journalists. It's really an ongoing search that's as much daunting as it is somewhat exciting.

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