Do not trust people who call themselves musicians or record collectors who say that they don’t like Bob Dylan or the Beatles. They do not love music if those words come out of their mouths.

People talk about wanting amenities - downtown is the amenity.

A songwriter's heart is pure when they have the desire to keep digging deeper into music. And invariably, when you dig deeper it always leads you into the past.

I won't let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me.

I didn't really even think of recording under my own name for a long time. I thought, 'I've got the rest of my life to do that.'

It's easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master.

It's funny because when you do become successful, you're forced to look backwards and try to crawl back into the womb where you first started to create.
