I think a master craftsman is someone who is unpretentious. He has a physical object in front of him and, while he works with a higher aim, he doesn't let his personality get in the way of his art. It's simply about the task at hand and to make it as functional and necessary to the world as he can.

People expect not just songwriters but all personalities to pontificate about their egos.

When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.

With death comes a choice. And death is a choice.

Dead men always have the last laugh. They win. They're dead. You can't hurt their feelings anymore.

I was just a folk singer. I cut my teeth on the streets, you know.
