I love Emmylou Harris's version of my song, 'Sweet Old World.' Her intonation is great.

I started writing songs, I guess, when I was about 13 or 14, but I didn't know if they were good enough yet or anything.

Blaze Foley was a genius and a beautiful loser.

Sade's stuff is real deceptive. She's got stuff about prostitutes, poverty and people on the streets.

As it turns out, now is the moment you've been waiting for

I feel like it's really kind of a sit-down album, much in the same way I imagine Billie Holiday or someone sitting down in the studio and singing.

I guess you could write a good song if your heart hadn't been broken, but I don't know of anyone whose heart hasn't been broken.
