I started playing piano with a little band in high school. I was terrible. I thought I had absolutely no talent. I couldn't keep time. I only got into McGill, which was a lousy music school, because they were taking American music students.

I felt alienated at school, and I never did well with girls.

It's not getting any better, is it? I don't want my 19-year-old boy going into the army. I love these little kids. They understand how passionate I am.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love, It's the only thing that there's just too little of.

Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn.

Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember.

A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of.
