Nylon string is still a new love and I'm not tired of it yet.

I don't make demos. I don't have the interest or the energy or the time.

I wanted to give my first instincts a chance without shooting them down immediately, which I sometimes do.

I'm 45 and I don't have time to spend two years of my life bringing in producers and dragging the record around the planet.

When I get compared to artists like Jose Gonzalez or Bon Iver, I can't help but think, "I've been doing this since they were in third grade."

When you're a touring musician, you're always turning over new rocks and there's always a certain level of tension in your life.

When you get older, you're bothered, or inspired, by other things in life than a girl breaking up with you. Things get heavier as you get older.
