Every song asks to be sung in a different way.

There's nothing in the world so sad as talking to a man who never knew his life was his for making.

I need space between me and the audience - and the more space the better.

Now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turnin' gold Turnin' from the past, at last and all I've left behind.

I feel calm when I'm on my own.

When I pick up the guitar, it's a melody, and that's what drives the lyrics. It's bits and pieces of truth, but it is storytelling.

The thing I love about music is that you can take things that are painful, deep things that hurt you, and you can turn them into something beautiful.
