A true musician, like Johnny Cash, should be able to walk into a room with nothing but an instrument and capture people's attention for two hours.

I think it's important for fans to know that but if I'm doing something that inspires me musically then I think it will inspire someone else too.

My first favorite band that made music important to me was the Beatles. I was a little kid. I didn't know who was singing what song or who wrote what song.

I'm not usually in a talkative mode.

I actually think to some degree that people are down for longer shows with an acoustic show.

And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.

To me, music shouldn't be ego-driven. When you go out on stage and play songs, it is. But when you're sitting in a room, writing songs, it's a completely different process. It's a completely different place. It's a creative place, a musical place. It has nothing to do with who likes what.
