When I was young I was very shy and that was my personality. I was a pretty sensitive kid and quite neurotic, filled with a lot of anxiety.

Me and crazy Janey were making love in the dirt singing our birthday songs.

I got a house full of Rembrandts and priceless art, and all the little girls they wanna tear me apart.

Everybody's got a hungry heart.

It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.

Walk tall, or baby don't walk at all.

I didn't know if it would be a successful one, or what the stages would be, but I always saw myself as a lifetime musician and songwriter...I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along...I'm a synthesist. I'm always making music. And I make a lot of different kinds of music all the time. Some of it gets finished and some of it doesn't...The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
