The pressures, I don't really like to think about the pressures, I like to solve them, you know what I mean. I could sit here and complain about pressures but nobody wants to hear about pressures.

Paul Butterfield and I had a band together at one point.

When I used to play nightclubs, you had to play Top 40 or favorite oldies that maybe people could relate to.

Country artists, I met a lot of them when I was five, six years old. I had an uncle who was a country and western singer and I met Lefty Frizzell when I was five or six years old in those shows that would come through Toronto from Nashville.

When CD technology first came out, it was just so much waste.

When I was younger, I had big visions of changing the world.

You put a song on the record or on tape and you stop singing it. You just don't sit around and sing it anymore unless you're performing. That's kind of sad.
