My guitar playing has not developed as much as I think it could because I never practice. I only play when I'm writing or recording or when I'm playing on tour. When I'm sitting around at home, I never play.

I always believe that a person can learn so much by just jumping into something and trying to do it rather than having someone else teach you everything.

When I did have a little bit of commercial success, it really didn't suit my temperament at all. I'm a terrible public person.

I never felt happy with the idea that part of what I do is to be an object to be looked at. I thought of my public persona as an entity separate to myself.

I'm not a very good advice-giver.

I still have all the faith and love for my music and yet I'm still playing places for kids.

I'm just trying to get rid of all the mystery surrounding me and let people see what I'm thinking. So they can understand me and stop assuming things about me.
