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

If I can get Me out of the way, I can do anything.

My objection to the death penalty is based on the idea that this is a democracy, and in a democracy the government is me, and if the government kills somebody then I'm killing somebody.

Me, I'm spiritually retarded, I need to be knee deep in water with a fly rod in my hands, that's about as close to God as I get.

I'm one of the few people that I know that sings better than they did 20 years ago.

I'm not a Democrat; I'm something well to the left of a Democrat, but I'm just realistic about the system.

The singer-songwriter has always played music that was stylistically rooted in the '30s and the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. But the fact of the matter is that none of us remember the Depression firsthand.
