I'm looking forward to being able to retire from being a public figure and being able to afford to be myself!

I don't play the kind of music that works in a football stadium.

I don't find the songs; they find me. I just strum my guitar and wait for a lyric to come.

It is a process of discovery. It's being quiet enough and undisturbed enough for a period of time so that the songs can begin to sort of peek out, and you begin to have emotional experiences in a musical way.

If the gig's going really well, I'm incredibly happy on stage and really feel good about my life and things.

It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure.

I tend to write out the first iteration of a lyric here and then go over here and make variations on it, on the page opposite.
