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.

I liked the American folk style of Woody Guthrie.

I'm a little nuts. I'm a lot nuts. All I know is that in the midst of the madness of this world it's my therapy. The music touches my heartstrings.

You will go with me everywhere. When I'm dreaming, you still share my lonely nights.

I never really had stage nerves but I did have had trouble getting up to the right energy level. For a long time I drank. I drank up until 1982 and then I gave up alcohol.

I was a drummer in the bugle band in cadets. I marched. It's probably quite funny to look back on it.

Sometimes a broken dream will make you sad or make you mean. Sometimes things ain't bad as they seem.
