I'm still finding my way, and I made a lot of mistakes.
Anybody in the spotlight can get lost in that if they are not careful.
On my US tour maybe three out of 30 shows there was an Elvis impersonator in the crowd but that's it. I usually get younger fans, and those that come that are of an older generation end up walking out because it's too loud
When I'm doing interviews, I'm doing interviews, and when I am writing, I'm writing. I sit there with a musician and I write. It's the same process since I started writing in my twenties. I like to come in and leave with a finished song.
I grew up in the South with my father; blues and country, that's always been my core. But I had it in me not to do what was expected. I wanted to find my own footing.
I dropped out of school in the 11th grade because there was no purpose in it for me. I'm not proud of this, and I'm not trying to promote it.
I think I've failed every test I've ever taken. If there was a failure I would have been it.
I take a situation, analyse it, break it down, put it in the form I want it to be in, and then I toss it away. Let somebody else go deal with it.
I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.
I live with the things that I love: art, furniture, and objects that I have collected throughout my travels.
I have always been a singer/songwriter, and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there.
I don't ascribe to any particular style or period.
I don't think that I'm a top 40 artist in any way. So I don't think I'm that mainstream.
I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage.
