Working with different people and do things that normally I would not do makes the music interesting for me to continue. It keeps me alive. When I'm doing something alone, that is mine, I know how it is. But when I'm working with someone else, I also see the view from the other, and usually learn something new, try something different. This is very important to my happiness.

It's like soul music, isn't it all soul music? Otherwise what is it, non-soul music? I-have-no-soul music? Soulless music? People need to put a name on something to identify it, and I understand it.

I think a myth is created from truth.

I really love that type of music where someone can take a guitar or light instrumentation and a beautiful voice and can send me somewhere.

When you get a chance to play with people - informally is one thing, but when you hook up and make something that's going to last or mean something to someone, I take it very seriously.

There's just so little mystery left in music or film. It was all that was magical to me as a child.

If tears were liquor/ I'd have drunk myself sick.
