People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.

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.

I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart; sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.

It's just a joy to be able to work with a lot of different musicians. When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.

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