My soul is lost, my friend, tell me how do I begin again? My city's in ruins, my city's in ruins.

There's an opera out on the turnpike, there's a ballet being fought out in the alley.

When I die throw my body in the back and drive me to the junk yard in my Cadillac.

I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.

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 never felt I had enough personal style to pursue being just a guitarist.

We gotta get out while we're young, 'cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
