You have a history of art-music that you equate with music. That's what I love about that term art-music. It separates itself from music-music, the music people have always made.

I was kind of pathetic. That's what got me playing out in the street. I ran out of money and needed more gin for the night.

I don't care too much for thinking about the past. The truth is just another story. You can remember it any way you want; it's never gonna be the same twice.

I've been playing one way or another since I was about three years old. I don't remember not knowing how to play any instruments.

I don't think music is an art any more than cooking food is an art.

Some guy is good at putting these verses together, and some guy is good at singing them. That's just the way it is.

I'm just a guy that sings songs because that's what he likes to do, I guess.

I wouldn't consider myself a songwriter at all. Maybe I piece together a certain little thing here and there, but songwriters are people who do this with sheet music.

I don't associate much with anybody. I'm not big on all the teachings and groups and being a part of something, I guess.

I was born or raised in the church, so I guess the first songs I would have played would have been church songs.

I just started playing music on the street and walking around with a fiddle, and I think that's kind of when I started being serious - or as serious as it's going to get.

Desire to dwell in clean environment.

The power of attraction is the attractive power of thoughts, imaginations, and love.

In those years only the dead smiled, Glad to be at rest: And Leningrad city swayed like A needless appendix to its prisons.

The attainment of the economic aims of man presupposes peace.

I think I dont really have any expectations; I dont look at the season as a whole - I look at it race by race.

If I could climax as many times as a Derek Dingle routine I would be a happy man!

Probably we never fully credit the interdependence of wild creatures, and their cognizance of the affairs of their own kind.

My first son didn't really take a bottle, and I didn't like giving bottles.

There's never a bad time to put earplugs in. They're the kind of thing you can reject as a bit lame, but somebody told me to do start wearing earplugs and it turned out to be great advice.

Why had such a promising world been crucified on the tree of obligation, thorned by duties, hanged by hypocrisy, smothered by customs?
