Freedom just around the corner for you, but with the truth so far off, what good will it do?

When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks.

I just wanted a song to sing, and there came a point where I couldn't sing anything...nobo dy else was writing what I wanted to sing. I couldn't find it anywhere. If I could I probably would never have started writing.

If I had rubies, riches, and crowns, I'd buy the whole world and change things around.

It will scramble your head and drag your brain about, sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out.

You can't be happy by doing something groovy.

When I was growing up - say in the fifties - the thirties to me didn't even exist. I couldn't even imagine them in any kind of way, so I don't expect anyone growing up now is gonna even understand what the sixties were all about, anymore than I could the thirties or twenties.
