I was never a topical songwriter.

I never wanted to be a prophet or a saviour. Elvis maybe

You always got to be prepared but you never know for what.

With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks, you've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books.

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take to find dignity.

It goes back to the destiny thing.I made a bargain with it, you know, a long time ago. And I'm holding up my end.

I do know what my songs are about.
