I'm always writing. And, I mean, I always counsel people when they call me a musician: I really do not have the skills of a musician. I really don't think like a musician, though I love music and I perform and sing.

Although I have guitars all around, and I pick them up occasionally and write a tune and make a record, I don't really see myself as a musician. It may seem a funny thing to say. It's just like, I write lyrics, and I make up songs, but I'm not a great lyricist or songwriter or producer. It's when you put all these things together - that makes me.

I am a musician, but I'm another type of musician.

I don't know about folk music. I play guitar, so there's a feeling I make folk music.

I don't consider myself a musician. I'm an artist.

I consider myself a musician.

I don't think of myself as a folk singer per se, but I really like blues and string-band music. When I started listening to records when I was a teenager, the folk boom was going on.

I mean, I don't even think of myself as a musician, really.

Yes, I'm a musician. I also like to play with others, sometimes more, sometimes less.

So I don't think of myself as just a musician at all, I think of myself as an artist.
