I picked up the guitar at 11, but even before then, I was writing songs on the organ.

Some things remain fragments, just the lyrics and melodies or a line or two or a verse.

I'm never sure if I'll ever write another song, what the song will be about and if what initially sparked the beginning of a song might complete it.

I don't try to project any image at all, other than the person that I am.

We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It's supposed to help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.

People's real hopes and dreams can be distorted and misdirected and packaged until you're not sure what you really want or what you even really need.

I learn all these things about the record talking about it after it's finished.
