I kind of like the way that I came up as an artist. I like experimenting.
I don't think that there's much that sets me apart from other musicians, but I think there are definitely things that set me apart from other kinds of artists.
No one else is going to do it for you, if you want it bad enough then go out and do it yourself.

The thing that I took away as an early fan from Bob Dylan was the storytelling aspects. He can tell some wicked stories.
I met Bill Clinton; he's a very nice guy. Yeah, Bill Clinton's cool.
