"Every day I'll wear your memory like a favorite shirt upon my back"
"I think whatever you believe in affects whatever you express, whatever you create. It shapes your morality in some way. But I don't think that's something that you have to shove down people's throats. I'd rather keep it in the background, and I'd rather people came to the music in an unprejudiced way. I'm glad, in a sense, that most people don't know about me, what I do, much. I'd rather they hear the music, and then say, "I wonder what kind of person created this.""

"To stand up on a stage alone with an acoustic guitar requires bravery bordering on heroism. Bordering on insanity."
"What I wanted to hear didn't exist, so it was necessary for me to go out and create it."
"When you stand up acoustic in front of an audience, you really are a man without any clothes on. And that can be fun - it depends how much of an exhibitionist you are, I suppose. I quite enjoy it."
