"In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well."
"I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?"
"It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through."
"I like to let the songs speak so that they can go through some kind of rebirth as you play them."
