My favorite Aggie joke? I'm sorry I don't understand the question
Both my parents worked, so I was home alone a lot, and I would listen to their records. They belonged to the Columbia House record club, so they had records!
It's important to be successful enough to be able to keep doing what you love
Singing your own songs is all about individual expression
I enjoyed hearing people do their own songs. I became attracted to singer-songwriters. I became interested in them as people; was curious about what they wanted to say
I've never been ready to do a single thing I've ever done in my life. I haven't been prepared enough, haven't studied enough, haven't known enough. You can never be ready. There's just so much to know.
Fortunately, I've never had a job

It's really a lot easier to write about things that are problematic. Who wants to hear how happy you are?

The most important thing you can do as a performer is to be yourself, or be an onstage version of yourself. If youre not being true to yourself, and somebody likes that other version of you, youre kind of stuck.
I don't ever try to anticipate my audience. I just write the songs I want to write, and hope people like 'em.
