I'm not into cold weather, I like warm weather.
You need a strong sense of 'otherness' to be able to create in your life.
Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.
There's nothing but spirit in music. That's all it is. Yeah, there's a lot of intellectual elements to it, but no matter how you approach it, it's all spirit.
I do not go on my Wikipedia page. There's just too much weird information on there for me to pick apart.
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
I wasn't a very good teacher.
I don't really know what 'folk music' means anymore.
I think most of the time when people have big disagreements and big misunderstandings, when time lessens that blow it creates a deeper understanding for both people.
I love what I do, so I don't mind working.
The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.
I love vinyl, man.
Understanding where your food comes from, trying to bolster local farmers and local economies and having a better connection to the food around you and the people around you, only good can come of that. I love to be involved with things like that.
I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.
I don't really hang out with a lot of celebrities.
I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.
Every time I write a song I feel really lucky and kind of surprised. Not surprised that I wrote it, but just surprised that things exist that you don't know about.
I can relate to soul, R&B... whatever people want to call me is fine. I just hope it makes them feel something.
I'm not a mass-appeal artist.
There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.
