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 ain't ever satisfied.

I feel like I owe my audience something. They feed my kids. And I really like my job, a lot.

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 wasn't raised to not write about issues, and I'm just living in really politically charged times. You know, I'd rather write songs about girls, but it's just hard to do right now.

I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.

I have a theory that the people who cook in jails are British chefs.
