I grew up counterculture. I'm essentially a hippie, and I'm essentially a folkie.
I wish I was as sure about things as Bill Monroe was sure about things.
The creative core of New York has never been native New Yorkers; it's people from all over the world.
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've been a serial husband, and I've done it badly every time.
I'm constantly warning people that are involved in my life that I can go busk and make a living. I can make my rent in New York City in the subway, I promise, if I'm forced to.
