You have a song, and people know it. It's like a calling card for you.

I haven't had the most lucrative career. If I'm going to be completely honest, I'm a one-hit wonder.

So I played the acoustic guitar and harmonica and stomped my foot and I think I was right in assuming that Greenwich Village would be the best place to perform my own material and possibly get some attention, move on to making records and all.

There was just no way I could leave this little Martin guitar in my apartment overnight or even in the afternoon, and expect to find it there when I got back.

Inspiration comes from everywhere: books, art, people on the street. It is an interior process for me.

If there is something that determines my motivation in the work I do, it's the sense of injustice.

Prayer is a privilege and the soul's sincere desire. We can move beyond routine and 'checklist' prayers and engage in meaningful prayer as we appropriately ask in faith and act, as we patiently persevere through the trial of our faith, and as we humbly acknowledge and accept 'not my will, but Thine, be done.'

I don't actually have a one wellspring of inspiration. Though I'm most often inspired while reading - both fiction and nonfiction.
