Though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest.

Shower the people you love with love.

['Fire and Rain'] is sort of almost uncomfortably close. Almost confessional. The reason I could write a song like that at that point, and probably couldn't now, is that I didn't have any sense that anyone would hear it. I started writing the song while I was in London...and I was totally unknown.... So I assumed that they would never be heard. I could just write or say anything I wanted. Now I'm very aware, and I have to deal with my stage fright and my anxiety about people examining or judging it. The idea that people will pass judgment on it is not a useful thought.

I think it surprises a lot of people that I'm still around, you know, still - that I'm not pushing up daisies, as they say.

I'm glad that I still have the ability to tour in Europe. I do love it.

It's a real wrenching thing to go from being a private person to being a public person, especially when you're being autobiographical.

If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean.
