It's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin and can't stand the company.

This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.

I can get onstage and cut that off and be superinstinctive. To be a good live performer, you have to be instinctive. It's like, to walk in the jungle, or to do anything where there's a certain tightrope wire aspect you need to be instinctive. And you have to be comfortable at it also.

Blame it on the lies that killed us. Blame it on the truth that ran us down.

Your spoken voice is a part of it - not a big part of it, but it's something. It puts people at ease, and once again kind of reaches out and makes a bridge for what's otherwise difficult music.

The poets down here don't write nothin' at all, they just stand back and let it all be.

To say I'll make your dreams come true would be wrong, but maybe, darling, I could help them along.
