It's really hard to make a living as a musician. It's almost impossible.

Some people stay far away from the door if there's a chance of it opening up. They hear a voice in the hall outside and hope that it just passes by.

Why should I worry, why should I care? And even when I cross that line, I got street savoire faire.

Usually when I'm writing, I try to write fairly quickly. If a song sits around too long, it starts to take on a stink. Most of my songs are written in one sitting, two sittings maybe. Those are the ones I like the best, anyway.

Take risks. Take chances. Don't be afraid. You gotta go into life brave.

Well I never had a place that I could call my very own/That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home.

Call you up in the middle of the night. It's awful hard trying to make love long distance, but I really need stimulation.
