If I had to depend on what I actually get from sales, I'd be tending bar between sets.

I thought, "Wow, it sounds really stoned anyway." It sounded good to me. I found out that there was a lot in there. What all this comes down to is I was just trying to get in touch with myself. And I met some interesting people in New York who weren't in show business. I even got to know my dentist.

Musical types tend to combine the burden of the author with the burden of the actor.

The problem being: for years I was struggling - first to prove that I had any talent, then to create some skills and finally to fulfil it reasonably. But then once I got there it was, "OK. I did that, but I want to be happy." And that's a whole different deal. It's kind of like a dance. Being active seems to help. I'm 70, so sometimes a little voice is going, "Just take it easy".

I kinda feel like everything comes full circle in life, even though that's a cliche.

I'm glad I am crazy, it keeps me trying. I despise trendies, I know they're lying.
