In the taverns all was amiable and easy, but the coffeehouses were cauldrons of edgy malcontents.
I was raised playing music in coffeehouses and I feel that was the foundation for my career. I think it is important that we remember where we came from.
My father being in the movie business, I thought being an actor would be great. But when I started singing to people in coffeehouses, you know, singing folk music and then, later, singing songs that I started to write myself, I felt more than an affinity for it.
