Being at college, I think that's the time when you really start searching for things outside yourself.

When you have that first flash of what you think is going to be a great idea-from the mouth, from the hands-that's an amazing feeling. I don't think anything's quite as good as that.

I love antique architecture, so if I have any indulgences, I have owned and renovated and reconstructed a lot of old houses.

Everybody who I ever cared about has told me that they like my music: Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Al Green, The Spinners, Smokey Robinson. Everybody that matters.

Traditionally, duos get accused of lots of things.

To me, there's two kinds of music these days. There's ephemeral music, and there's music that has lasting power and depth.

Any song I don't feel good about, I shelve. Anything you ever hear me sing, it's because I want to.
