I was just a folk singer. I cut my teeth on the streets, you know.

A lot of people don't know what it's like to actually be hungry. I do. I've also slept on the streets.

Folk art has never been much about politics; it's about action and utility.

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

I'm making music with my friends. It's fun. It should be fun. You shouldn't make music if it isn't fun.

I just write songs whenever I feel like it, whenever they come to me.
