My first guitar was a Gibson Challenger.

I don't have anything to prove anymore. I don't have a record deal, no one has any expectations, I'm in a position of freedom. I don't need anyone's approval.

My growth as an artist and a person has been so slow and gradual, it's hard to make a story out of it.

I'm not a very good advice-giver.

I tend to fall for the archetypal, talented, charismatic rock boy.

I don't think I'm romantic at all. I have a lot of faith in the right thing happening. I don't really hope for a lot of particulars, I just have faith that the right thing will happen most of the time.

I'm really conflicted about my role as a front-person. I hate the attention.
