Words are for explaining the mistakes we might have made, names are for calling when there is nothing left to say.

There is always something wrong with a song, you can't be perfect.

I was happy to be in England, because my mother had always loved the royals, and so do I.

My parents got my sister and I to go to church and have piano lessons. We were keen and they could see that.

I once performed The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald to about 15 sea captains. The song was about a ship that broke in half and sank.

Of course I knew The Band's Canadian keyboard player, the late Richard Manuel, but I didn't play that night because I was there as a guest with my record executives. People ask, "why didn't you play?" If I had known I was going to be playing then I would have been prepared for it.
