It's hard to live your life in color, and tell the truth in black and white.

You couldnt get a job playing in a club unless you played so much Top 40 and so many Beatles songs. I just went into a sort of revolt.

Yeah, like, when I look back on my life, I just remember back what happened in '74, or something. It seems like only the real good stuff comes to mind. I don't think of all the tragedies and all the funerals. That just doesn't come to mind at all. I guess I'm really blessed that way.

The Beatles had just come out, and everybody had a band. It was incredible competition out there.

Clapton asked my brother to play on his record. I thought that was the most wonderful thing in the world.

There are as many ways to write songs as there are songs.

As they say in the bible, that you're supposed to rejoice when people die and mourn when they're born, because it's one of the most painful acts you go through in life, is being born, and dying.
