I think the reason kids get into drugs and smoking is they don't have anything to do.
From Richard Thompson
To stand up on a stage alone with an acoustic guitar requires bravery bordering on heroism. Bordering on insanity.
The best thing you've got going for you is individuality.
I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.
Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise.
What I wanted to hear didn't exist, so it was necessary for me to go out and create it.
There's a part of me that wishes I'd never said one single solitary word on any subject publicly. Then I could have been the tortured poet, and there's so much mileage in that. But it's too late to stop now.
I try to look for the good in everybody, regardless of the way they're labeled.
It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something.
I want people to come to my music without prejudice. I want them to get the music first. And who I am isn't that important. If they like the songs to me that's a good thing.
