I've never set out consciously to write American music. I don't know what that would be unless the obvious Appalachian folk references.
If I had one quality that really ruined me and at the same time helped me, it was the fact that I never stopped looking, and by that time I was really working at it.
It is the want to know the end that makes us believe in God, or witchcraft, believe, at least, in something.
