The river was always there inside of me, but I was very shy. I could see that this was my path. I felt destiny in my own music.

I'm used to adversity and working really well in difficult situations. It was hard for me to accept the success

Didgeridoo was something I picked up while I was on tour in Australia with Peter Gabriel in '93. I found out later that it's only meant to be played by men.

Being a writer is a very private, internal process. Ultimately I am more the writer, being an introvert.

I'd love to act. I feel that it's another naked, mysterious challenge, like jazz. It kind of intrigues me in the same way.

I struggled with being in the public eye, losing my anonymity when my star rose quickly in the late 90's. But I need the challenge of showing up and getting up there to spill my guts and connect with my loyal folks.
