“My father brought me a box of books once when I was about three and a half or four. I remember the carton they were in and the covers with illustrations by Newell C. Wyeth.”

“In my early twenties, that's when I really began to write. Before that, I was too busy working, keeping myself going.”

“I have a painter's memory. I can remember things from my childhood which were so powerfully imprinted on me, the whole scene comes back.”

“Growing up, I never knew that Raffi turned down celebrity endorsements, TV shows, and specials and refused to make merchandise, but it makes sense given how I think about him: My memories are limited to his voice through the record player and the album covers I stared at.”

“I played piano in a covers band, but that didn't especially help with girls. There is never a piano around after the shows. Guys with the guitars were the ones who got lucky.”

“Covers are always so fun to do, but there's nothing like telling your own story.”
