It's what I do. I don't deserve any awards for this, it's just music. It's just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down.

I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.

The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark. It scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark.

There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder.

When in doubt, play track 4 - it is usually the one you want.

I've worked hard, every single day since I left school. I think I have a Protestant work ethic.

I started with rock n' roll and...then you start to take it apart like a child with a toy and you see there's blues and there's country...Then you go back from country into American music...and you end up in Scotland and Ireland eventually.
