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.

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

I love singing. I've never felt I've had a great voice but I feel I've gotten better. It's funny. I can hear my voice aging and getting stronger. I've relaxed about my singing so I'm hearing it the way I like it.

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.

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.

Great art is a regional thing. I'm not saying my art is great. I recognize what I think is great about music is often on a regional level.

I tend to pour myself into my music and I don't have a lot of other places my mind goes, unless it's spending time with family and friends.
