I don't take compliments very easily. I think most musicians suffer from low self-esteem to some extent.

Bruce Springsteen's a rock star. Elton John is a rock star. I'm a folk musician. Honestly, I think that's true.

Music is like a huge release of tension.

Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have made a lot of difference to my audience that I'm as bald as a billiard ball!

There ain't no doubt in my mind that love is the finest thing around

Won't you look down upon me Jesus, you've got to help me make a stand. You just got to see me through another day.

Certain things in life are more important than the usual crap that everyone strives for.
