From the beginning, I imagined I would have a long work life.

To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted. But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts.

Tonight I'm stepping lightly and I'm feeling no pain.

I didn't know if it would be a success-ful one, or what the stages would be, but I always saw myself as a lifetime musician and songwriter.

They wanted to know why I did what I did. Well, sir I guess there's just meanness in the world.

Most of the artists I know are crazy in one way or another. I think that's why you get into it. You're in pursuit of a certain sort of peace that's very, very, very difficult to come by.

I know I ain't nobody's bargain, but hell a little touchup and a little paint.
