I'm just a guy that sings songs because that's what he likes to do, I guess.

I really enjoy playing music. I feel like it's something to try to give to people.

I was kind of pathetic. That's what got me playing out in the street. I ran out of money and needed more gin for the night.

I lived by a bay for a while, and I shucked oysters. Some packing things. You know, just whatever odd job you can find whenever you're moving around. I never really cared much for the franchise kind of work, so I'd try to find things that I considered to be a little more honorable.

I play popular songs. This is not some obscure, unusual music. This is popular music.

I was born or raised in the church, so I guess the first songs I would have played would have been church songs.

Essentially any history we have is just a history of aristocrats. We don't have any history of people.
