The main focus for me is not trying to find duet partners. It's about just making great songs. I want most of my album to be in my voice, because it's my point of view.

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.

Why wouldn't I help? What good reason do I have as a human being with power and a sense of empathy and morality, why wouldn't I do something?

It's not enough to say we need to love each other, you have to go behind that and say we need to change these policies, we need to fight, we need to protest, we need to agitate for change.

I have a great band, with very talented players, and we give everything we have every night.

Musicians are in-season all the time.

You learn so much from taking chances, whether they work out or not. Either way, you can grow from the experience and become stronger and smarter.
