I wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep.

My first instrument was the drums. Not quite sure why I quit and changed to guitar, but I'm sure my parents might have convinced me that the guitar was way better.

I'm down with the whole patron thing. Bring back the Medicis. Maybe, I'm not just a lefty, but a royalist.

As a musician, I have always refrained from criticizing another artist.

I think Im different from a lot of singer-songwriters because some of my favorite singer-songwriters told stories. Like John Prine.

My older brother was the guitar player in the neighborhood band. My parents were the cool ones that had the basement for rehearsal. Rather than hang with my peers after school, I wanted to just listen to the band. More than that, I wanted to play.

My rocking out didn't make me particularly popular with the boys or girls. It wasn't cute or feminine. I was more of a...weirdo.
