As far as solo records, there’s ten years between it. As far as other releases, there’s, I don’t know, four or five years between it.

I really liked doing a number of the projects and directors, and etc., etc., I knew about half-way through that I would never be doing that again. It’s just not me. I really am happy...

Even from a listening end now, I’m still completely a fan of music.

I love playing and I love singing, and the writing. There’s kind of a symbiotic relationship between the writing and the playing.

I know there’s some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.

There’s always been a man telling me what to do.

I think Wes Montgomery is the greatest jazz guitarist that ever lived.

I know I didn’t like that dress ’cause it didn’t fit but I thought it was a great picture. We weren’t the first band to do a picture in drag; The Rolling Stones were. If...

I never not wanted to be a singer. Since I was 3, I knew this was what I wanted to do. Well, I can’t say I wanted to do it, but I fantasized and thought...
