I don't live for the stage. I don't live for an audience.

Critics I don't understand. They get too intellectual. They're not very well-versed in street talk; it takes them longer to say it. So they have to do it in dictionaries and they take longer to say it.

I really floated around in the '60s, because I felt comfortable with nothing.

I don't mind trying it out and making sure something seems to work well.

I was always accused of being cold and unfeeling. It was because I was intimidated about touching people.

You can't go on stage and live - it's false all the way. I can't stand the premise of going out in jeans and a guitar and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it's not normal!

Don’t you love the Oxford Dictionary? When I first read it, I thought it was a really really long poem about everything.
