Don't cheat yourself out of music. Music is one thing. The music business is another thing. Save enough of yourself to keep living anyway. Save enough joy in your heart to enjoy it. Let your reward be in the doing of it.

Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.

If you start sweet, then you've got somewhere to go.

I was wiser at 30 than I am now. My judgment was better at 12. If you look out the windshield of a Hyundai or a Bentley, you see the same road.

The same love that made me laugh makes my cry.

I would like to know how it feels for my desperation to get louder.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness every day.
