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

I grew up in a very literate, very independent household where people spoke their ideas and were very supportive of helping each other find their own way

Sometimes I feel like I just open myself up like I'm a vehicle for something coming through me. It's like a meditative state I have to be in.

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

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

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.

I've had trouble being in relationships and writing. This has been a real problem for me. I don't know if it's because I'm not free to fantasize or create these fantasy things about other people
