I've always toured solo acoustic.

Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.

I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.

I've had mentors who were kind of the troubadour singer-songwriters, like Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and that's just what I've always liked - people who would talk real honestly about their lives and their circumstance.

I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave.

Telling the truth to yourself and someone you can trust are great ways to help elevate your whole emotional quality.

I am most alive when I let myself be touched by the fingers of life.
