My music is in young people's lives because it's so much a part of their parents' lives.

Songwriting is different from music, although I don't deny now that it would be nice to have a little more background in music theory.

Touch a man who can't walk up right, and that lame man, he's gonna fly.

While the sun God will may your day, sing as a song in search of a voice that is silent, and the one God will make for your way.

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.

I don't pamper my voice. It's part of my body. If my body is rested and healthy, my voice is rested and healthy.

When I first started, I worked with three chords in every bar, but I found that tied me down - I'm not a chord-change writer, I'm a songwriter.
