I have never made a cent off a record in my life. I have never recouped enough, and I never sold enough.

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.

I wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep.

Unfortunately you can't copyright a title... bummer.

When I was on the big labels, I never calculated what would make me sell more records. I just did what I did -no different than when I wrote songs for myself in high-school.

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

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