My management tells me, Don't be optimistic, because it's the young people's world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you're a classic rocker. I don't know if you're gonna get the play.

My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light, and I held firmly to what I felt was right.

That's a good way to live, go against the wind.

One victim lives in tragedy, another victim stops to stare, and still another walks on by pretending not to see

I write a lot of songs people don't hear. I really just enjoy the process. I finish 'em all. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between the bad ones and the good ones.

The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I've gotta rest it for a night. So it's the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.

Take a lesson from the trees, watch the way they bend with each breeze, little victories.
