I just started going to shows. I don't know how submerged I am: I feel guilty that I don't get out more, but I really like being inside the house.

May we all emerge from winter with our strength renewed and any unwanted pieces left under the ice.

I think The Sunset Tree is really the album on which I really learned to trust other musicians, which is so important.

I don't like to say, "Oh, I don't like this kind of music." I like to listen to it and try to see what people who like it get out of it.

My family, before the divorce, moved several times, and after that we moved a whole bunch more times, and so I don't have an anchor to a single place. Probably as a result of that, I'm a little more attenuated to when people do feel close identification to place, whether they say it out aloud or not. I think that there's a sort of local patriotism that is deeper than national patriotism.

Everybody experiences reality in a way that's only true for them.
