I fell in love with folk music at Surprise Lake Camp. It was the songs of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers.

I Am... I Said is a very complicated song and its complicated probably because my feelings were very complicated when I wrote it.

Pride is the chief cause in the decline in the number of husbands and wives.

I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very ... high maintenance.

I couldn't resist. I went over and joined in, and we just sang the song together, ... They had no idea that I had written it, or who I was. I was just some weird guy who wanted to join in on the singing.

The music is key. It has the power to transport you. I go from being a slightly insecure, shy kind of a person offstage, to this super-confident, motivated, entity onstage.

As I said before, stones to me is meant things that hurt people, things that cause pain and thats what this song is about.
