I can't figure out why fans keep coming, maybe it's because they dig the songs.

I don't know how to make magic. For most songwriter's that has only happened once or twice, and I don't know how to re-create that. I know that there are some tricks and tools, but the magic is the amazing part.

I think one of the reasons that I love the fans that have stuck around, because I really enjoy writing different kinds of songs. I don't know if I write them well or not, but I can write them.

It's hard to deny talent. If you're good, you're good.

I never was strutting through the hallways like, "Yeah, I'm a singer/songwriter." That's never a cool thing to do - to be the brooding guy.

My world on the road always ends up feeling really small which is ironic because that's when I'm seeing the most places and meeting the most people!

Kids think books are cool, especially when they see that people they think books are cool are reading.
