I ain't looking to compete with you, beat, or cheat, or mistreat you, simplify you, classify you, deny, defy, or crucify you. All I really want to do is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't think I've ever been an agnostic. I've always thought there's a superior power, that this is not the real world and that there's a world to come.

Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street.

Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it's like they didn't fade away at all.

You know, sometimes a person's reputation can be far more colossal than the influence of the person. I don't pay any attention to it anymore.

I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.

The land created me. I'm wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I'm more at home in the vacant lots.
