Honestly, I love stealing things.

I'm not one of these people who sits down and writes to say I'm gonna write a song about this or that, or a specific subject. The songs actually kind of write themselves.

I wake up in the morning, or the middle of the night when an idea comes through. My songwriting style, basically I just write down information given to me from the muse and how that works for songwriters. Record the muse and the muse delivers.

I think if you don't have it [desire], you're not going to be pushed into anything. You've got to want to do something.

What does a painter do? You get a painting, you put some intent and passion and emotion into these things, and hope the people will receive it. Same as a playwright. It's art.

Playing with my grandfather, grandmother and my parents, I came to music pretty naturally.

I was with a folk trio back in '63 and '64, and we traveled all across North Africa, Israel, and Europe.
