I never took singing lessons. I guess, I feel comfortable with it, but I do not feel like a singer. I never want to sing without a guitar in my hand. I consider myself more of a songwriter, rather than a singer. I could never be in a wedding band and just sing Marvin Gaye songs.

It seems to me that maybe pretty much always means no. So dont tell me, I might just let it go.

I think it's really important with kids just to show them the beauty of nature and teach them a profound respect for nature.

Fact is only what you believe and fact and fiction work as a team.

People are lonely, and only animals with fancy shoes.

To be part of a community feels really good - to be among people who have similar feelings and want to share thoughts. It's a nice feeling.

Sometimes I just start humming something, find a melody I like a lot, and if it sticks around for a couple days, a few words will lock themselves into place. I might just get the first line. Then words just keep falling into the syllables. The choruses kind of write themselves and verses I have to work at a little bit.
