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

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.

I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong.

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.

Because I was small, I was getting the hell kicked out of me playing football.

Music breeds its own inspiration. You can only do it by doing it. You may not feel like it, but you push yourself. It's a work process. Or just improvise. Something will come.
