I'm somebody who gets a lot of inspiration from dreams.

It's no fun for me to cover a song and produce it the exact same way as it already exists. When I hear that happening, I have to say, 'What's the point?

I've worked with just as many talented women as I have talented men, and I feel fortunate enough to have that great balance.

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 love the sound of Elmore James, the sound early guitarists like him got just by using minimal means.
