The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark. It scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark.

I know that when I make a record like The Delivery Man as a contrast to even Il Sogno, this is going to reach a wider audience, because it communicates in that very direct way.

Somebody should clip Sting around the head and tell him to stop using that ridiculous Jamaican accent.

My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant.

I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.

Mention Hubert Sumlin, as well, because Hubert's a great man, and again, you know, I don't play the guitar very good, but when I'm playing this kind of music, I always have him in my mind. I wish I could play like Hubert.

Really the only thing holding a lot of records together is the personality of the singer, and the will to write all of these different things.
