All right, I'll take a chance. I will fall in love with you. If i'm a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too. Can you cook and sew. make flowers grow. Do you understand my pain? Are you willing to risk it all or is your love in vain?

People think they know me from my songs. But my repertoire of songs is so wide-ranging that you'd have to be a madman to figure out the characteristics of the person who wrote all those songs.

And I'll know my song well before I start singing

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.

I'm not the kind of cat that's going to cut off an ear if I can't do something.

This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.

Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.
