I've crashed my car three times.

There ain't much future for a man who works the sea, there ain't no island left for islanders like me.

For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift.

If I ever reach heaven I expect to find three wonders there: first, to meet some I had not thought to see there; second, to miss some I had expected to see there; and third, the greatest wonder of all, to find myself there.

Know what you love and do what you love. If you don't do what you love, you're just wasting your time.

I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.

I can't think of one person I've ever met who didn't like some type of music.
