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

I began to realize that photographs, these still images, have a tremendous power to move your soul. They can change your life by what you choose to get out of them, and I started to collect photographs.

I don't have to ask anyone's permission to do anything. It's nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I'm doing is better for me as a solo artist.

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

I've been listening to a lot of Hollies stuff lately, and it's beginning to sound pretty good to me.

I mean, there's times to rock and roll, and I love that too. But I think my first love is acoustic music.

This digital world is completely fascinating to me.
