Sometimes the ensemble 'Eighth Blackbird' will have performances and invite me to be a featured soloist. I think that is what they call it in that world-"featured soloist."

For a long time I've walked through this world with the desire, like in Rear Window, to look into other people's lives because I know that there is a way in which I am the same as so many of the strangers that I see.

Sometimes it will be for more money than I've ever been offered before. I mean, am I an idiot again for not doing that?

On days where I feel the karma is in balance I'm not afraid of death. And when I feel it's weighing heavily on the negative side, then I get very scared and just think about eternal damnation and how unpleasant that would be.

People are looking for fame or a focus, and I can't provide that.

Too much emphasis is put on American roots music when people try and place me. You know, I grew up listening to punk.

I don't think that word - the word pirate - has any real meaning. Or it's something that's had meaning imposed on it.
