I never got really good at hockey.

I was in Britain that year [1963] and some music publishing people in Denmark Street in London suggested me to the BBC. So I found myself in front of a British television show, which was a nice surprise.

I worked in a plant when I was 14 for two years. I always wanted to do the summer jobs. Honest to God, I always had to be doing something.

The house you live in will never fall down, if you pity the stranger who stands at your door.

The road to love is littered by the bones of other ones, who by the magic of the moment were mysteriously undone.

'If You Could Read My Mind' was written during the collapse of my marriage. It's a great song. No one has any gripes about it. I wondered what my wife and daughter might think. My daughter is the one who got me to correct 'The feelings that you lacked' to 'The feelings that we lacked'.

If I could read your mind, what a tale your thoughts could tell. Just like a paperback novel, the kind that drugstores sell.
