[from a 2013 press release] There's not a push nowhere. Maybe I'll stop playing shows and making records when the songs quit coming to me. But they still come to me. You see, I don't work for a song -- but once I get a hold of it I don't let go. I just keep writing, and when I do, I want to go out and play it for somebody. It's the songwriting that keeps me going.

I never cared to learn much about "show business" -- I'm still kind of green and crisp. I think if you spend too much time learning all that, there's no telling how many good songs you might cancel out.

When I look back now, I guess it was pretty different to be doing what I was doing and sounding like I was sounding. I haven't changed a whole lot; I'm almost a lone wolf out there. I just play my guitar and don't worry about it. They don't know if I'm black, white, country or rock.

[on his appeal as a performer] If you have to explain it to them, you've lost it.
