I am myself for a living. I don't animate a character.

I believe 100 percent in the power and importance of music.

I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold. And I gathered up the gold, and I threw it all away.

A concert is always like a feast day to me.

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

Somehow it helps just to take something that's internal and externalize it, to see it in front of you.

It's a real wrenching thing to go from being a private person to being a public person, especially when you're being autobiographical.
