The devil wanders into my soul.

I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.

I'm finding that writing poetry is strengthening my songwriting, because you're learning to make a piece of writing work on a page with nothing else. I was also finding within poetry I felt a lot more free to write about very different matters, to write about social issues or things that are going on around me.

I decide immediately if I like a person and if I do, then I'm myself, and if I don't, then I give nothing.

I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs.

I didn't know folk music growing up, no. It's something I've come to study, really, because I think there's so much to learn from traditional music in the sense of the way music began as a way of communication, the traveling storyteller, the bard, the minstrels.

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.
