I do know the effect that music still has on me - I'm completely vulnerable to it. I'm seduced by it.

You always fall for the rascal or the guy who's got a little bit of the devil in him. You can't help it.

We probably, as primitive people, made music before we actually had a language, and that's where language comes from.

I really, really like writing songs. Capote wrote every day. He said that's the only way, you have to sit down every day and do it...Something that's written out is okay, but it's not always a clear indication of what a person means.

That undercurrent of the forbidden was always a part of rock.

Morality should have to do with killing people or hurting them or stealing from them, but when it comes to adult choices, I don't see it.
