We've always just gotten up there and played. We don't have any dancers, we don't have all that stuff going on, we just get up there and play.

My mother gave lots of good advice and had a lot to say. As you get older, you realize everything she said was true.

I've been compared to hundreds of artists, which just goes to show you that I'm not any one thing at all.

I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful.

I never sit down to write or say, "Today, I have to record something." I wait to hear it and then I go for it.

I found it a really refreshing change of pace to suddenly be completely directed. It was a type of collaboration that I don't normally have.

If you look at the guys in the '70s, like Led Zeppelin, they had bigger planes than we do, they had more money. But they weren't singing about it.
