There's so much talk about the Drug Generation and songs about drugs. That's stupid. They aren't songs about drugs; they're about life.

I say, "Look, I'm here now. There must be a reason I'm here." If that's fatalistic, be that as it may. Where my work is, is where my life is, and if we're falling in the ocean, we're falling into the ocean.

Having the baby changed my life a lot. I don't want to go on the road.

You've got to make your own kind of music, sing your own special song, make your own kind of music, even if nobody else sings along.

My advice is precisely the advice my mother gave me. If you believe you have talent, the next thing you must have is determination. If you keep working, keep striving, and try always to move forward a little bit with every job you do, you'll eventually make it. And I believe that!

If you really think you're right, you should tell it.

When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.
