And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.

I've had a long career and I want to continue to have a long career. The way to do that is not to go away.

They always say that the entertainment and restaurant industries are the only businesses that don't sink during a depression or a recession. I've done both, and I recommend to anyone who wants to be a rock star, if that doesn't pan out, become a cook.

My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.

It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.

I never wrote music or arranged songs or lyrics when I was under the influence of anything but coffee. That's not gone away.
