So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.

The musings are the same I believe the fire to create burns so heavily that I am never far from a guitar or a fountain pen.

I just don't conform very well.

That's what I so admired about Johnny Cash and June Carter. Their music wasn't a big influence on me. It was their character, their individual styles, what they were like as people. They weren't afraid to stick out.

What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.

I never sing a song more than twice because my fear of waning excitement for a piece is part of my troubles. I so rely on vibe, energy and emotions that the technical part occurs to me last.

I like to make great albums.
