Actually I don't know if honesty is a strength or some kind of weakness.

I don't know if there are artists out there who love their own records. I haven't met any, and I'm kind of extreme in the other direction, but therein lies the impetus to keep working and keep making new songs and new records.

I'd rather suffer the consequences of truth than of silence.

Then I show up steady ready and proud and I find I've forgotten how to talk out loud. Isn't it just like you to bring me to my knees?

A good brain ain't diddley, if you don't have the facts.

I was supposed to be cool about this, yeah, I remember - cool was the plan. Tried to keep it all under wraps, but the wraps kept going slack. I keep turning round, I keep coming back.

We get a little further from perfection each year. I think that's called character. I think that's just how it goes.
