I was singing when I was two years old, and my parents were very supportive, but they weren't musicians themselves.

I'm always reading something.

I'd like to do something with the Avett Brothers.

Once you've made a record, you don't need to make it again. It's done, and it's out there forever, a moment in time that encapsulates whatever was happening in that moment.

Americana Music is about all sorts of different music. It's very free and open: a world where people just like authentic music.

The world has accelerated to the point that, as far as the album as a form, I don't know if it's going to last that much longer.

I used to love assemblies because it got me out of class.

Young people go to concerts.

I sense people respond more to the honest approach to making music instead of the manufactured approach.

I get to play with all these different players who don't necessarily approach music always the same way that I might. So I learn a lot.

The thing is, we've changed our style but we've never changed the actual roots of what we've done.

Sometimes, it's just great to bring new people into the mix.

We collaborate together. We work with other people. We work by ourselves.

I do a lot of things behind the scenes. I do a lot of things that don't hit the headlines.

I just like playing with the band and doing what I do.

If it wasn't for music, I doubt whether we'd be friends.

You don't wanna be around your family constantly.

My guitar playing is a synthesis of traditional American acoustic style and Urban Pop and R&B.

If Daryl stopped touring it would be a big part of him missing.

Having a mustache and never smiling became a permanent component of my persona through the quaintly self-important decade of the seventies.

There's always a personal satisfaction in writing a song by yourself. You get the inspiration, and see it through, and you're done. It's focused and very personal.

I think social media is so important; the young bands have certainly embraced that and used that to their advantage.

I didn't make a solo album until the year 2000.

We should have an easier name to pronounce.
