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.

There's a power in words. There's a power in being able to explain and describe and articulate what you know and feel and believe about the world, and about yourself.

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need, but I'm too old to go chasing you around wasting my precious energy.

With other people, you're always swapping music. Somebody is always listening to something you've never heard. It's a great way to hear all sorts of new things.

I really love playing music with other people. It's more fun to be on the road with others. It's kind of lonely out there when you play on your own!

I never assumed I would have that commercial success, so it was a total surprise. And honestly, I never assumed that it would ever happen again.

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