It's hard sometimes to capture magic when it comes to live records.

When I first started out in this business, it was easy because nobody wanted anything from me. But now everyone wants something from me, so it's hard to break away and just be a songwriter.

You're not going to turn this thing around with platitudes. There are no magic bullets.

I feel like the live record thing is something that I've been getting used to as the years go by and with this being my second one, I'm continuing to learn what works and what doesn't work. A live record is an example of that authenticity and that realness that you find in imperfection and you can hear that in this record.

I know the difference between black magic and white magic.

People talk about Magic Johnson when he was playing. Every day, they bring an energy.
