I have to continue to work, and I have to be touring, because that's how I earn a living.

I don't have a genre because I play lots of different music that people would say are different genres.

I'm not gonna force something or fake something to try to get more black people at my shows. I'm not gonna do some big hip-hop crossover.

I'm not good at planning ahead because it's just too much. I plan, set it up and then don't think about it again until it's almost time. That's just how it goes.

To learn the history of the banjo is to recover the actual history of America.

I think working so hard in Portland to earn the right to have it be my team and to have my own team over the years and try to play at a high level, that was hard-earned.

I'm an actor and a playwright, and I don't earn much.

The money I earn from films means I can help the people I want to help - you can do a lot of good if you want to.

I would never want to be selected to a team just because I am going to set a record. It's critical to me to earn my way.

Players are fundamentally the same - regardless of what they earn. They want to improve and want to be part of something.
