Somebody asked me what I wanted to do. I just said I wanted to…just to give back to it what it’s given me. And to meet all the other people that are doing it…just to be in the world, really.

I have no advice for anybody; except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate.

I just want to be a guy with a guitar.

The people who raised me musically are my mother, who is a classically trained pianist, and my stepfather.

I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

When all of this music sounds like you know what you want to say, then it will have been of all worth, ever. You will be something complete unto yourself, present and unique.

If you feel blocked, do not turn to others, but look inside, in silence, for the enemy of your progress.
