I love fishing, any kind of fishing.

The oppression of women is the single most corrosive and urgent problem of our time.

I stand firm behind the belief that, for me, songwriting isn't something that I do or command, it happens to me. I can either choose to stop and acknowledge it, or put it off and hope that it won't fade away. 'That Wasn't Me' is no exception - it came together more quickly than any other song I have ever constructed on my own.

My mother's a singer and my mother's father is a singer, and everyone on both sides are all country-western bluegrass musicians.

Every city has a town outside with a lake. I pull out my fishing pole and fish. I've been doing that for a long time.

If I learned to play guitar it was so that I would have something to sing to, if I learned to write a song it was so that I would have something to sing. So the gut feeling you're talking about comes from singing and communicating the lyrics and what it is that we feel.

Bear the burdens of others, but don't put them in your pocket too.
