I do not believe in terrorism, violence, destruction, murder, pre-emption, or War.

I dream of songs. I dream they fall down through the centuries, from my distant ancestors, and come to me. I dream of lullabies and sea shanties and keening cries and rhythms and stories and backbeats.

Isn't that the goal, as you grow older? That you start reclaiming those parts of yourself you didn't recognize or didn't think were there all along? That's what happened when I made The River and the Thread record.

And I don't think that success is going to destroy me at this point in my life, like I used to think.

I needed to carve out my own place and find out what I was going to do

Because I was starting out in my 20's. I wanted to do it on my own. I didn't want to use my dad or have people say I was using him.

Every person's every action has an effect.
