Songs can be Trojan horses, taking charged ideas and sneaking past the ego's defenses and into the open mind.

People are really concerned with what other people are saying about them.

In a time when everything can be next day and ordered and put on credit and paid for, music to me is promise, all promise, very little realization. It's the promise of walking into a room with a guitar and not being sure you will leave with an idea that will take, not being sure it won't slip away from you.

We just feel like we don't have the means, To rise above and beat it. So we keep waiting, Waiting on the world to change...

It's almost charity work, what people have done, turning other people on to my music.

I'm not as surprised in going from playing 1,000 seats to 4,000 seats as I was from 100 to 500 seats.

My fear is that I go up to the girl of my dreams and say 'I'm sorry, but I've got to say hello to you,' and she slides the stool back and gets up and walks away, saying, 'Not for me, Bub. I don't want anything to do with you.'
