I loved working with Bob Dylan.

If you call attention to yourself at the expense of the song, that's the cardinal sin.

Sometimes you work with somebody you've never heard of because you just feel like working.

I loved Mal Evans holding one note down on You Won't See Me from Rubber Soul.

I got to play on a couple of records with the Rolling Stones, and that was really special to me.

I'm playing 10 feet from Mike Campbell every night. I look across the stage, there's Howie. Tom's in the middle and we're playing all this stuff I love. It's great.

I think I drift toward sad love songs.

You can go crazy and play solos in the right place, and that's great because it can intensify and bring an emotional lift. But the thing is you don't want to get in the way of the song.

I try to find little things that you can do to move the song along and things that serve the song.

I think we've always been better live.

Fortunately, as we all know, it's impossible for anybody but Jimmy Smith to really sound like Jimmy Smith.

It is to our own detriment that we underestimate the might of small and simple things.

Did he judge on appearance alone? would he judge me? "Goth" doesn't cut it when it comes to a word that describes me. I'm complex. Complicated. No one gets me, and I like it that way.

We are not sure of sorrow, And joy was never sure; Today will die tomorrow; Time stoops to no man's lure.

I prefer working on films. I like the variety. There is nothing better than playing a bad girl for two months, then playing someone sweet for the next two. Films give you this opportunity.

If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.

It's not government's business what people do in their private bedrooms.

I hate the bloody highways. I hate hamburgers, I hate Greyhound buses. I'd have liked to have been in America during the Jazz Age, or the Golden Age of Hollywood.

I had always assumed that people were interested in economic affairs, just as I was. My assumption was justified. The times caught up with me. I was ready. I was there.

There aren't enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren't groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow.
