I keep busy. That was my nickname in college, 'Iron to the Fire.' I like to keep several things going at once.

I had always planned to be an actor, and the music was just in my DNA, it's always been.

I do love to walk around in New York because people will notice me, smile, but they never bother anyone. New Yorkers are very cool. I love New York.

Playing with my grandfather, grandmother and my parents, I came to music pretty naturally.

I lived in London in 1965 and 1972. I love it there and I'm always very creative in that vibe. Would love to live for awhile in Scotland/Ireland and Britain. Great appreciation there for the folk scene and song crafting.

I'm not one of these people who sits down and writes to say I'm gonna write a song about this or that, or a specific subject. The songs actually kind of write themselves.

The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job. I will do whatever it takes to survive…like I did when I was a homeless man.
