You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?

I read a story about some old opera singer once, and when a guy asked her to marry him, she took him backstage after she had sung a real triumph, with all the people calling for her, asked, 'Do you think you could give me that?' That story hit me right, man. I know no guy ever made me feel as good as an audience. I'm really far into this now, really committed. Like, I don't think I'd go off the road for long now, for life with a guy no matter how good. Yeah, it's the truth. Scary thing to say though, isn't it?

Wait a minute, maybe I can do anything.

You better not compromise yourself, it's all you've got.

I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought.

At my concerts most of the chicks are looking for liberation, they think I'm gonna show 'em how to do it.

I started singing rhythmically, and now I'm learning from Otis Redding to push a song instead of just sliding over it
