If we couldn't laugh, we would all going to go insane.

I got a PBS mind in an MTV world.

I want to keep going as I have, to travel, read, perform, write, and enjoy my family. I've promised myself only this: no more Laundromats, no more two-shows-a-night, and no more deadlines. I'll work at my own pace.

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.

One of the inescapable encumbrances of leading an interesting life is that there have to be moments when you almost lose it.

It's important to have as much fun as possible while we're here. It balances out the times when the minefield of life explodes.

Be good, and you will be lonesome, be lonesome and you will be free. Live a lie and you will live to regret it, that's what living is to me.
