There's no black and white, left and right to me anymore; there's only up and down and down is very close to the ground. And I'm trying to go up without thinking about anything trivial such as politics. They have got nothing to do with it. I'm thinking about the general people and when they get hurt.

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.

I'm the oldest son of a crazy man, I'm in a cowboy band.

What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.

When you think that you lost everything you find out you can always lose a little more.

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans.

The best songs are the songs you write that you don't know anything about. They're an escape.
