It takes forever if you go by inertia.

I try to make my music have the quiet spaces of folk, the intimacy, and the energy of rock.

I've always loved acoustic music because I've always loved to hear someone's words or just watch them and just get into them. The distancing thing about rock is it's so assaulting.

So many of my friends are still trying to get record deals, and I've had one for 10 years now, where my only goal is to make the best music I can make. I've been very lucky. I have great faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, and whatever happens is going to be absolutely right for me.

I think we're returning to more of the original vibration of music and creativity through the removal of this distortion called the music industry. That's where we're heading. And it'll cut out a lot of music if people ever expected to make money.

Ultimately you understand there is order in the universe, even if there is no order in your immediate circumstances.

I felt old when I was young and I feel younger now. Maybe that's a trick of my mind, but I'm springier and lighter.
