The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job. I will do whatever it takes to survive…like I did when I was a homeless man.

I write songs for myself, songs come out of me, I get enjoyment out of it. Basically, that's it - I get enjoyment out of my songs, I know they're good songs, and know that the people around me who I respect are all getting up on these tunes, and the feedback is really good, so that's it. There are people who will receive them, and don't receive them. Not in a spiritual sense, but in a commercial sense - do these songs treat people, and so far they're working.

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

I love Westerns and I remember as a kid climbing up on the couch and make it into a saddle and shoot guns and fall off. I would lay there after my death and my mom would tell me to eat lunch and I'd say, 'I'm still dead, Mom!' I was Method, even then.

Women in stores will pull their children away from me sometimes so they won't catch the crazy Creed virus. Other folks are disappointed that I'm not that guy in person.

No matter how you get here or where you end up, human beings have this miraculous gift to make that place home.

Oh, I steal things all the time. It's just something I do. I stopped caring a long time ago.
