I was a young folk singer, or wanted to be. I really wanted to be a New England folk singer, but they never would accept me. I was always hard to categorize, and people wouldn't know what to make of it.

I'd rather work with guys that have time to live with you, and let it gel.

The end is here, and you don't want be here. You are the best in the world at something, and you know you are not going to be that great at anything else.

In medieval times, artists had patrons that supported them and this is a similar thing, ... We're basically saying, 'Wouldn't you like to be a part of this'

I have somewhat [Taylor's or Gallagher's guitars], but I like the power of the Martins.

There are a lot of guys kind of on the bubble that can either be that sort who turn into journeyman kind of guys that will find a new spot or guys that can make a claim to be in one place for a long time. You can name a lot of names this year, an unusual number. And I think that most of them will be OK.

My playing style is very eccentric and mostly self taught.
