I never saw myself as a folk singer.

Folk music is a bunch of fat people.

I don't really think of myself as a folk singer.

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

I never saw myself as a singer; I never really thought I had the voice for it.

I really was never any more than what I was -a folk musician who gazed into the gray mist with tear-blinded eyes and made up songs that floated in a luminous haze.
