'Content' is a word that has never sat well with me. Like 'maturity'. They are two words I've never liked. I think they imply some sort of decay. A settling.

Some people can't physically hear things. A kid that listens to Metallica or something can't hear that, because he's filled himself up with this stuff, he physically can't hear a banjo or a harp or something.

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.

Funny, now I can see, how looks can be deceiving.

People think it is all about country music, and I know a lot of country music has come out of there, but like Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dillon was recorded there. A lot of great records; R&B records, jazz records. It's a lot of great players and great studios.

Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.

It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.
