On tour I'm finding out that I am half gypsy, 40% vagabond, and 10 house cat.

I do what works best for me, but it might not work for somebody else.

There are no rules or certain methods. I usually start with the guitar or piano and sing melodies over the chords. The lyrics seem to be born out of that, and the fact that it's still a mystery to me is my favorite part.

I want to build a treehouse village connected by bridges in the woods by my house so my friends have a place to stay.

I really think that people are getting fed up with the computer generated music. I think it had a little time where it was new and it kind of worked, but it's so overdone that people are getting sick of it, and are turning back to real music.

Because of our situation, God has given us an opportunity to almost transcend our gender, which gives us a vision and sensitivity that other people don't have. They think that being white and male is going to save the world; but life is not The Lion King.

I don't really believe in plans. They only change. My goal is simply to be able to make music and live life in this crazy, falling-apart world.
