I'm a folk artist at heart.

I've got tonnes of aboriginal and Native American art, but I'd like even more.

I love folk; that's a big part of my background.

Our appreciation of folk art will strengthen our identities, our pride in belonging to a community. People trained in the creative use of their hands soon acquire skills, excellent craftsmanship which will be the most important measure of how well we can industrialize.

I've always been fascinated by the grassroots folktale level of a culture, and as a storyteller, I have to follow what seems to be leading me on.

Hip-hop is the last true folk art.

There's not that much English folk music that is really that appealing.

I've had a lifelong obsession with urban legends and American folklore.

American art in general... takes to surreal exaggerations and metaphors; but its Puritan work ethic has little use for the playful self-indulgence behind Parisian Surrealism.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.
