I wanted to be a rock 'n' roll star. It defines life for me. It's all I've ever imagined for myself.

I have always wanted to see what the vibe was like and I was right It's on the Vermillion Bayou.

My drawings are another kind of music for me...they relax me and I think they all connect somehow.

If you think too much about something, you're not feeling it.

A great hang is mandatory. But in all of my years as a traveling musician, on a whole it's been pretty damn magical. There have been a couple duds along the way, but most time, I'm in awe of the guys who want to play on my records.

It was hard to work and work and work and not get your music played on the radio.

I am a late starter. I like to go on into the night when it's quiet and everything has shut down. I find that's where music and minds open in the dark.
