I don't want to impress somebody, I want to move somebody. Say the most with the least.

So I didn't have anything to do with picking the songs, but I got to musically take them in places I thought might be interesting, so it was a real neat collaboration among the three of us.

You learn a whole lot more about a person if they have bad breaks and all those kind of things.

I formally proposed. I'm a good Southern gentleman.

I've never been in the studio where it felt like I didn't have a voice. Whether I was co-producing or producing by myself, this community is the one place where I really see democracy at its purest.

Even when I'm touring, I feel like a sideman ... everybody's working together. We get to play longer solos; it's not just "Here's the record! Thank you for coming Goodnight" ... it has always had a "band" feel instead of being a singer and his backup band.

I'm the guy who loves being in the supporting cast.
