That memory of making the record is a huge part of the record itself.

The hour on stage is rarely a drag. In fact, I can't really say that its ever a drag. The few times that its been challenging has been when you don't have a sympathetic audience or there is the occasional strange corporate gig or something that you take or that you're not sure and you're like, "Wait a second. That's just the wrong venue".

I hope people leave my show thinking they've had a worthwhile couple of hours. The worst thing you want is for people to think they've wasted their time or didn't get their money's worth.

When I'm recording a song, I wake up and I'm thinking about it. I go to sleep and I'm thinking about it.

I have enough of a fan-base that I don't feel it is going to evaporate. I don't feel like I have a fleeting fan-base. I don't feel like it is coming from some trend-driven thing where I'm no longer going to be hip. I've come and gone through all that.

My dad brings a deep-seated knowledge of the British folk genre, and a lot of my love for guitar playing comes from learning from him and his influences, which eventually became my influences.

I care about the records I make and I love writing songs and some songs are really dear to me and they mean something. But the memory of making the records and the activities surrounding the records, the people involved in them is actually a bigger thing to me.
