I am terrible at relationships.

Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.

I make mistakes. I say stupid things. I do idiotic things. And, quite frankly, I'm proud of them. Why not make mistakes?

I realize that of all people, I am no expert on parenting or marriage.

Sometimes I dress like what I want for lunch, because all I can think about is having a tuna sandwich.

I was brought up in many different cultures, moving around all the time, and I find my identity in my songs. I project the identity I want to have throughout the songs that I write.

When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.

I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.

The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.

I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.

You can only get over your fears if you attack them head on.

The truth is always an insult or a joke, lies are generally tastier. We love them. The nature of lies is to please. Truth has no concern for anyone's comfort

Maybe that’s what I have been looking for. When storms and rockslides threaten, I am looking for someone who will hold on to me and not let go.

There is a rationale for every action.

If it must be done, it's best done bravely.

There is in superstition a senseless fear of God.

Some people do have softer boundaries.

Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.

When I hear a great musician, I can feel his life inside the music.

Friends part foreverwild geese lost in cloud

It was one of those days you sometimes get latish in the autumn when the sun beams, the birds toot, and there is a bracing tang in the air that sends the blood beetling briskly through the veins.
