Most of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.

For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.

I was mainly influenced by the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and others like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash.

Turn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.

This is how it has been since time began: If you want to make something really worthwhile and true, then you have to suffer for it.
