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

Time will take your money, but money won't buy time.

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.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Grammys because I don't see the music world as a competitive sport.

I was in chemical jail.

If you think my music is sentimental and self-absorbed, I agree with you.
