They say "ya gotta stay hungry"... Hey Baby...I'm just about starvin' tonight!

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.

And at the time, for one of the few times in my life I didn't have a band, I just had myself and the guitar, so I was going to have to do something with just my voice, just the guitar and just my songs that was going to move someone enough to give me a shot. So I wrote songs that were very lyrically alive and lyrically dense. And they were unique, but it really came out of the motivation to - or I understood it was - I was going to have to make my mark that way.

Sometimes, at night you could hear the whole damn city crying.

The man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died. We drove to Memphis, the sky was hard and black.

All people have is hope. That's what brings the next day and whatever that day may bring... A hope grounded in the real world of living, friendship, work, family...

I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car.
