I tend to write out the first iteration of a lyric here and then go over here and make variations on it, on the page opposite.

I told you that I love you, I was only telling a lie. I'll be long gone come the crack of dawn and I believe the word is goodbye.

Within my heart is carved a sculpture of your love.

It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure.

Songwriting is too mysterious and uncontrolled a process for me to direct it towards any one thing.

You can bring your enemies to their knees with the possible exception of the North Vietnamese.

I don't think anyone really says anything new.
