I think the New Bohemians' inability to say no was a big part of our problem.

You're just playing, playing, playing, and then an image or something will come into your mind, and basically you're just narrating it with music, letting it move along.

A lot of the songs start with an image. I was sitting there playing the guitar and I pictured this old, dirty green car, with the window rolled down, in the hot, hot, hot Texas heat, and this beautiful woman I knew when I was a kid sitting behind the wheel, looking out at me.

I like Rufus Wainwright a whole lot. He makes me wanna be even more musical.

Religion is a light in the fog.

I was seeing people that were older who didn't create any kind of foundation in their lives, and it scared me to death.

My son writes songs and plays. He sings like an angel.
