I really wish I was less of a thinking man and more of a fool not afraid of rejection.

I don't know why people thought I was retiring.

Even when I stop performing or stop making records I won't stop being creative. Songwriting is a good outlet.

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

You look so polished from your hair down to your toes, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose.

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 nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'
