I have a theory that the only original things we ever do are mistakes.

I started taking piano lessons when I was about four years old. My parents were both musicians. So I took piano lessons. I didn't like the lessons very much, but I was enchanted by music. Music always transported me somewhere. Singing made feel good and being able to play the piano made me feel good.

I would say the songs that have different lyrics. I always write the music first, and there's a couple of songs on this box set that have different lyrics from what ended up on the final recording.

There's nothing better than good sex. But bad sex? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex.

When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music, I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created.

I've lived long enough to have learned, the closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned.

I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.
