I definitely don't see myself as much of a singer, because my upbringing is really based around the guitar, learning chord progressions and that sort of thing. So the singing aspect of what I do has been a secondary adventure.

I don't like the way recording to digital sounds.

I don't really watch TV series because I don't want to get hooked on them and have them suck up all my time.

It's a hard thing to explain, but the more I arrange for strings, the more I realize the possibilities.

I learned a long time ago that fame and money is not a ticket to happiness.

Every record turns into whatever the listener gets out of it.

It was endlessly amusing to me to try to imitate John Lennon and Paul McCartney's harmonies using the guitar.
