One can't deny what has happened to us in the past. The secret is to enjoy and be proud of the music we've created and the people with whom we have been linked. It's all a long chain of involvement in the world, and we are proud to be yet another link in this chain.

I only do solo albums when songs are screaming at me to be let out of my mind.

There really is a kind of insane beauty around us all the time. It's just a question of learning to slow down, take a deep breath and meet the moment.

I find it somewhat difficult to write with other people, although it has happened occasionally.

I wasnt thinking of the longevity of any of my songs, but I am extremely pleased with the lasting effect.

I've been a photographer all these years... I haven't been in my own darkroom for 10 years.

Just with the basic one guitar, one piano and one vocal and an audience, I think that the intimacy comes through more. People feel much more connected to the song because there's nothing in the way, and I actually enjoy doing that.
