You do your runway show, and it's all over the Internet before I see anything on there.

I get labelled as just being about one thing, but there's lots of layers to what I do.

I don't really wanna talk about politics, I'm not clever enough.

There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them.

There's always something in most world folk musics that always seems connected; whether it's a bagpipe or a tambura, there's always some sort of drone instrument, and there's always percussion.

The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous.

An artist or writer always has to move forward. All the time you're trying to improve yourself, or at least look at ways to improve things or make things better. I'm not really one to harp on previous records. I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.
