The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.

We are in this period now where we all are trying to be in shape physically and deny ourselves any pleasure.

I'm still more comfortable with standards than with my own songs.

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 had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.

There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy - I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her.

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