If it doesn't work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain.

And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.

The stores and the things like that, the business side of things came out at the point when, I'd say probably in the early '70s, it looked like the year of the singer-songwriter was over, 'cause music changed in our time and the spotlight was out.

Moderation is the key so I work certain amout of time and then I take a certain amount of time off.

To describe my scarce leisure time in today's terms, I always default to reading.

Quitting doesn't enter my mind.

As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man, I have chalked up many a mile. Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks, and I learned much from both of their styles.
