I usually have an idea of how I want a song to sound, but I don't always know how to get there

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

People let their own hang-ups become the obstacles between them and personal happiness.

I was immediately taken with Geoff Muldaur's rich soulful voice, masterful phrasing and guitar playing when I first heard him.

I'm trying to learn how to tap into the power of my own being. I know it sounds corny.

I'm always writing ideas down and then I stick em in my pocket and put em in that folder so I don't lose them. Like, somebody might say something, and I'll go, oh that's a good line, and that goes in the folder, too. It's kind of an ongoing process for me.

Any time there's a major change, whether it's going into a relationship, getting out of a relationship, moving to a new city, a death - that usually provides a catalyst for an explosion of creativity.
