When I think of the artists I admire and seek out musically. It's because I'm curious about where they're going to go the next time they have a chance to put a record out. It's not about where I find them on the radio dial, or how many records they're selling.

It's a pretty frantic world that we live in

I don't really remember my folks singing to us, but they read to us.

We all have two lives. The one we are given and the one we create.

When I started out, it was this sense of, "Let's put out a record and see what happens and see where you go and see how you feel and where we can take it." That was a very different world back then.

Fool you once, you are forgiven. Fool you twice, you're just a fool.

I feel like politics have always informed what I do. If you know anything about my music, you know I've never been shy about stating how I vote.
