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.

It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two

I'm in a New York state of mind

I've always said about 50% of what happens at a concert has to do with the audience. If you play for a dead audience you're gonna stink. If we play for a great crowd we're much better. You want 'em to make noise. It's kinda like sex, if they don't make noise, you ain't doin' it right.

We drown our doubts in dry champagne and soothe our souls with fine cocaine. I don't know why I even care, we get so high and get nowhere.

More than art, more than literature, music is universally accessible.

Some people stay away from the door for the chance of it opening up.
