I work with musicians whose opinions I respect and if they don't like something they don't hold back. They'll say, 'That really sucks' and 'You've lost it' and 'You're no good anymore.' And I crawl away with my tail between my legs and I fear that kind of ridicule, but I want them to like the music I'm bringing to them.

Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.

It should be easy for a man who's strong to say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong.

I'm writing for the sake of writing music. Whether it gets heard or not isn't an issue for me. It keeps my own juices going and my mind active.

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

And you know that when the truth is told that you can get what you want or you can just get old.

You may never understand How the stranger is inspired For he is not always evil, And he is not always wrong.
