She's an amazing dog and really inspired everything that's in this book.

I am trying to teach my children to feel a responsibility for their fellow human beings and a sense of connection with ... the world around them.

My guitar and singing was my way of crying.

I don't want anything from Cuba. I want them to be free and enjoy the things I enjoy.

Because it's one thing when you - oh, I love this tune. But then when you go to sing it, it's got to have something really personal. Then down to 25, and then to pick the final ones I just picked the ones that were more personal, that had something to do with my life.

A lot of the way I sing is playing off other musicians. It's what I love to do the most.
