When I go on the road now, which is less than before, but still more than I'd like to, I think of myself primarily as a singer. Not a songwriter, not a celebrity, just a man who likes to sing.

I definitely don't see myself as much of a singer, because my upbringing is really based around the guitar, learning chord progressions and that sort of thing. So the singing aspect of what I do has been a secondary adventure.

I don't consider myself much of a singer. I'm a writer first.

Originally I considered myself a singer.

I always thought I was a singer, but I really am not.

It's true that I'm not known as a crooner or balladeer. I'm known for a more crusading or quixotic temperament.

If I hadn't been a singer, I might have been a photographer or an artist. But it's singing I love. I sing all the time, and I feel really good that I've expressed myself.

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
