This is our moment, here at the cross-roads of time. Time is relentless and as the past dissappears, we're on the verge of all things new.

I look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.

Davey Crocket, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland.

I can't think of one person I've ever met who didn't like some type of music.

I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage. I found that just surviving was a noble fight.

I'm a piano player. I never thought of myself as a singer, at all. I was always trying to sound like somebody else. I don't like my own voice, I like Ray Charles, Robert Plant, I like Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart, people that have an edge in their voice.
