At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.

Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.

I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.

I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.

There is nothing more boring than doing singing exercises.

Folk music was to strengthen and unify people, whether it was through an uprising and rebellion or whether is was through hard work, bringing in crops. But it was to strengthen each other and that's still what music is about today.

I think Ive got a pretty good sense of humor.
