You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.

Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul

I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.

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

I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.

They say everything can be replaced, Yet every distance is not near. So I remember every face Of every man who put me here. I see my light come shining From the west unto the east. Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.
