I'd hear a tune in my head and the words would come. And then, very suddenly it just stopped. It seemed too stilted to try and learn how to write a song, to go to round robins and to learn things from other people on how to write a song. So I just stopped and did other things.

I wish it was clear for me how it happened [stop writing songs], then maybe I could start writing again. But it's kind of an "it." It just submerged itself. Because the way I had always written was just that it came out. It just happened.

Living so fully, I can't imagine what any drug could do for me.

If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?

I think music has the power to transform people, and in doing so, it has the power to transform situations - some large and some small.

I am so disconnected from the world of rock 'n' roll. I was always peripheral, partly because of the drug culture. I was not involved in that.

Hypothetical questions get hypothetical answers.
