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

As a bit of loner, prone to melancholy, with a questionable sexuality, I found great solace in the words of-Dylan, Joni, John Prine and Leonard Cohen. The darker the better.

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

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy detective or a rock star.

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

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.
