Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I'm totally cool.

Give a moment or two to the angry young man with his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.

I've reached the age where competence is a turn-on.

I was drawn to boxing because I got beat up as a kid. I was the kid with the piano books in a New York neighbourhood.

Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

I always wrote the music first, and the music gave me the mood and the lyrics were pretty much put in to give you a map, where that mood came from and where it's going. But my first love was really the music itself, and I guess I've gone back to that.

You should never argue with a crazy mind, you ought to know my now.
