I'm an artist first and foremost. So things are gonna go up and down and sideways and whichever way all through life.

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.

First thing, I throw on some jeans, a T-shirt and my Keds sneakers and make coffee. That is actually my favorite time of day. That is when I do my songwriting, when I am in writing mode.

You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.

I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.

I have such a great band. We had played all this material on the road. I just wanted to let it fly.
