I'd rather stay here with all the madmen than perish with the sadmen roaming free.

Feeling so gay, feeling so gay.

Once I've written something it does tend to run away from me. I don't seem to have any part of it - it's no longer my piece of writing.

If I wasn't going through a thing where I was also being my characters offstage, uh, I'm much happier just wearing the most low-profile things that I can come up with just so I can get down the street.

I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.

Hear this Robert Zimmerman, I wrote a song for you, about a strange young man called Dylan with a voice like sand and glue.

I've learned to relax and be my present age and my present position. I feel comfortable on my mid-thirties. It doesn't seem such an alien place to be.
