I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.

I took it to heart that in order to be a good person; you never said anything mean about anybody.

I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.

Well, I make every song I sing personal. I've never chosen a song that wasn't.

So many artists who came out during that time, including myself, were able to get on radio. New forms of singer-songwriters developed out of that.

I remember being onstage once when I didn't have fear: I got so scared I didn't have fear that it brought on an anxiety attack.

You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.
