I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.

Turn the other cheek too often and you get a razor through it.

What I like or dislike in music is my internal affair. I never want an audience out there to be influenced because John said. I don't want to have to endure that kind of nonsense. I work for the art of the individual.

It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.

I mean, the genuine roots of culture is folk music.

Over the years, during television interviews, whenever the host or the reviewer or whoever gets cynical and nasty with me, I will behave accordingly. I will defend myself.

Do what I want, be honest to myself and then it would do good for others, that's all, full on.
