I love baseball. I'll probably end up one of those old farts who go to spring training in Florida every year and drive from game to game all day.

Maybe I'm not as big a star as Bruce Springsteen because I'm not as good. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I still have an audience of a certain size. I think it's one of the things I'm luckiest.

I don't separate writing songs from poetry and short fiction. In the area where I work in my house, there's a word processor and a guitar.

I don't usually read reviews.

I'm from Texas. I hitchhiked to Tennessee when I was 19 years old, and it is really beautiful in Tennessee.

To me, religion is an agreement between a group of people about what God is. Spirituality is a one-on-one relationship.

My dad was in a wheelchair and on oxygen for the last few years of his life.
