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.

I'm a very private person. What I did in the past or what somebody heard me do or has a bootleg of me doing...well, if you have a bootleg, then I did it.

I've always been a fan of album covers with no writing on them and have used them a lot in my own groups.

You're charging money to have people come watch you play; I want them to feel taken someplace good or provoked into thinking my way for an hour and a half or two hours.

I've never presented myself as anything less than a flawed person.

Anything lower than mid-six figures is not going to get me interested in that. And honestly, I just don't want to.

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.
