It doesn't always have a shape,Almost never does it have a name,It maybe has a pitchfork, maybe has a tail,But evil is alive and well.

Those things interest me a lot in songwriting - the human nature of how people think, and the muck that we wind up in.

Bob Dylan led me to this kind of music - and it's his and ours. And it's nobody else's.

I'm allowing myself every opportunity, every tool that every other artist should allow themselves to use. If anybody expects me to not use certain language or certain words, like I have some kind of penalty restriction, it's completely unrealistic.

I liked getting the Grammy more than not getting it.

I do like a song that can look good on a page without even being sung. I edit and edit and edit.

But there's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me. Through this maze of ugliness and greed.
