Music is so hard. It's a struggle to get people to care. It's hard to make an impact in today's world because people aren't buying records anymore.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

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

What happens when your dream comes true - when the spotlight is on and then it moves away?

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.

I wanted to be a writer. I still want to be a prose writer. I feel I am more temperamentally suited to that kind of life, although there are things I still want to do with music.
