I was living in Woodstock for a long time, and I thought, I got to get out of here, man.

Shouldn't the low strings be at the bottom?

The same people who never did their homework in high school are still doing that to this very day out in the real world.

I tend to think of all the songs the same - I give them all kind of equal rights.

Every one of the songs was based around picking an acoustic guitar. That was part of the concept from the beginning, that the tempos were going to go from slow to almost mid-tempo.

Why do it, just because I can? That's kind of crazy.

Rewriting to me means, if I work on it for three days, I've rewritten it.

Some gigs will go great. I figure you do a gig, and as many as can get there will get there.

Some people just come in, do it and they know it's right. It turns out better than you imagined it was going to sound. When that happens, you take it as a gift.

I don't know too many people because I stay at my house, I write songs, I go to the store.

The nice thing about true hopelessness is that you don't have to try again.

Lord, make me nowAs happy as the field.With flowers enriched...

An entrepreneur sells his thoughts and ideas as a packaged product.

Our brains are either our greatest assets or our greatest liabilities.

Beauty is a thing of might and dread.Like the tempest she shakes the earth beneath us and the sky above us.

You should always be taking pictures, if not with a camera then with your mind. Memories you capture on purpose are always more vivid than the ones you pick up by accident.

I'm not very good in a classroom sort of setting. I never was. I was kind of a clown in high school - got suspended a lot.

I was half asleep but I smiled. In spite of all his irritating qualities, I couldn't help liking a man who despised a fictional character with such passion.

War? The one war I'd be happy to join is the war against officers.

Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I'll remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all.

I have no business to feel downcast or querulous merely because when so much as been given me I have not had even more.
