“There’s a lot of really inspiring music coming around the bend – we tend to believe that to sound classic or timeless is to sound vintage or retro. It’s a little bit dangerous, because you’ll really miss a chance to make your mark as a generation.”

The first thing I think of when I think about coming to Las Vegas and playing is always Elvis; its always the first thing on my mind.

Wherever is your heart I call home.

Privilege and complacency paralyze me with fear sometimes.

I’m not sure I’ll ever be famous by anyone’s definition. I can only hope to be allowed by the audience to continue my life’s work.

Good planning avoids the need for fixing up a project that plowed ahead without thought… about potential pitfalls.

The purpose of it all is love.

The mole can’t live in your dollhouse.

My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro.

If I learned to play guitar it was so that I would have something to sing to, if I learned to write a song it was so that I would have something to sing. So the gut feeling you’re talking about comes from singing and communicating the lyrics and what it is that we feel.

Ladies, apologies, but isn’t ‘vintage’ just used stuff?

My wife bought me a vintage Gibson guitar that isn’t just beautiful but has tremendous sentimental value. I have plenty of guitars for live gigs but this is one to treasure.

I’m definitely an anomaly, but I’m making things. They’re selling, say, martinis, and I’m kind of making vintage Riesling.

No more rules, the freedom of dressing. The beauty of mixing vintage clothes with a pair of jeans that I love.

The gods they serve, the vintage they drink, nor by the way they fight, or love, or sin, but by the quality of the thought they think.

To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries.

Hope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of a waking man.

I like a little bit of designer, with a bit of vintage and high street mixed in. I love it when you find those one-off key pieces, which end up becoming investment pieces.
