"Every day I'll wear your memory like a favorite shirt upon my back"
"People want to be the first with the record, they want to be the first to know which songs are on the record, all that kind of stuff. So I like to just stall them a bit. Personally, I love the idea of an album that's completely new, that no one's heard any free downloads, any pre-record releases, all that kind of stuff, and nothing's been played on the radio. Totally virgin, you know, a sealed record. That's my ideal, but it's very hard to get anybody else to agree to do that."

"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."
