The perfect man? A poet on a motorcycle.

You can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write.

I'm in a contented, loving relationship, but that doesn't mean I'm not struggling with other things that are going on around me in the world.

Back in the 1960s, I saw Peter, Paul and Mary. I was at that age, about 14, and I was mesmerized.

Theres so many other things to write about than unrequited love.

What I do as a songwriter is a constant force in my life, that I'm grateful to have.

I write the songs, go in and record them, then I listen to everything and decide how it all fits together.
