People tell me it's a sin, to know and feel too much within.

You say you're looking for someone who'll pick you up each time you fall, to gather flowers constantly and to come each time you call, a lover your life and nothing more. But it ain't me, babe.

Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than those who are most content.

You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist.

I don't write the songs; I just write 'em down.

every pleasure's got an edge of pain, pay your ticket and don't complain
