Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live? Can you take what you need, but take less than you give? Could you close every day, without the glory and fame? Could you hold your head high, when no-one knows your name?

There is no situation that could ever confront you that cannot be solved. Life takes on real meaning when you set values for yourself, regard yourself as worthwhile and elevate your thoughts to things that are of God-good. There is a Higher Power. Turn to it and use it; it is yours for the asking.

I'm not afraid of being thought of as someone who is associated with film music. Why not? If it's a good song, what does it matter?

I never had a long-term plan.

I do 100 shows a year, but I do it in fits and starts, as opposed to going on a long run.

I'd been round the world a hundred times and had started to forget where I'd been. I knew I'd been there: it said it on the tour map. I could remember the name of the city but I couldn't remember what it was like - it was a massive blur.

Sometimes when I play that old six-string, I think about you, wonder what went wrong.
