There will always be those people who are just backward and ignorant. There will always be those people. They need somebody to feel superior to.

I gave guitar lessons. I tried to join bands. My mom always said it was obvious that nothing was going to stop me.

Wish I'd written Tikkun Olam – a Weavers or Peter Paul & Mary hit!

Going off the road just leaves me more time to be a writer.

I think one of the reasons musicians keep doing what they do and writers keep doing what they do, is that we're totally unsuited for anything else. And I for one am much too lazy.

Dreams were all they gave for free to ugly duckling girls like me.

At the end of the day, all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get, the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.
