An artist has got to be constantly in a state of becoming.

Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.

I like spiritual songs. They struck me as truthful and serious. They brought me down to earth and they lifted me up all in the same moment.

I don't really have a retirement plan.

The tree of life is growing where the spirit never dies, and the bright light of salvation shines in dark and empty skies.

My songs were influenced not so much by poetry on the page but by poetry being recited by the poets who recited poems with jazz bands.

I'm sittin' on my watch so I can be on time.
