We all have stories we're living and telling ourselves.

On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience.

There's a girl across the bar, I get the message she's sending. Mmm, she ain't looking too married, and me, well, I'm pretending.

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

I have spent my life judging the distance between American reality and the American dream.

The first time I heard Bob Dylan, I was in the car with my mother listening to WMCA, and on came that snare shot that sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind.

You can't kill your way to security and you can't lead by scaring people.
