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

I still have this unrealistic faith, that one day, my ship will come in. More people will discover, understand and buy my stuff.

I am doomed or fortunate to stick to what I do best.

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

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

I wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep.

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.
