My mother features quite heavily in a lot of my songs.

I love going up the West Coast of the U. S. because it's one of my favorite parts of the world to tour.

In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well.

I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know? And for the last 20 years - you've got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and then go on your merry way and start again, in a sense, and that's what I've been doing.

I like to let the songs speak so that they can go through some kind of rebirth as you play them.

I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?

There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
