I'm not a big fan of lead vocalists, people who sing but don't play. I never wanted to be in a band where the guy who was up front just sang. I've always thought it better when one of the musicians sings, like Steve Winwood.

Steve Jobs was a digital pioneer, but when he went home, he listened to vinyl.

Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement.

I have no idea who's steering, and I don't really care .. I just keep going whatever the inclination is ... there are threads that are continuous and hold everything together and a major thread is country music.

The cutthroat avenues of rock 'n' roll, I am fed up with. I don't want anything to do with it.

I just like a good, sad song. The sadder, the better. It moves me.
