Every song has a bouquet, which is the music. If you can put words with something that is really apt, then you've done it.
People have told me that other artists have been influenced by my music, and it's flattering. It's a wonderful thing.
Some music is supposed to be disposable; that's OK. A lot of music is fun for today, but it isn't supposed to be timeless; it's supposed to be trendy.
I like trying to make sounds that are interesting and are a bit weird. I try to make music that captures people's imaginations.
I got hooked into folk music by accident, because that's what white college kids liked when I was a child.
I've only ever had one doubt about music. It came when I was 11. I hated playing scales.
I genuinely find the most meaningful thing I do is to make music, but also to absorb some sort of creativity.
I feel my live shows are my music; everything blossoms from the live shows.
When people say 'marriage' to me... It's always a means to an end. Everyone's so in a rush to define the relationship.
I write a lot more when I'm happy, because you're hopeful, you're motivated.
Guitars are kind of just, you know, sexy, especially old vintage ones.
Every song I write, including 'Too Close,' always starts on the guitar.
I eat, sleep, and drink my character. It is my fantasy to go to another planet.
I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.
I have a lot of diehard fans. Ace Frehley fans and Kiss fans are the greatest fans in the world.
I'd rather have friends who care than friends who agree with me.
I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.
If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.
I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you.
