I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.

I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger.

I love writing every song I can like a little mini movie. I like to have a character, or some characters, and really paint a picture with the song.

I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.

I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought "Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again." I've got thousands of songs.

I just don't feel like I have to explain myself.
