I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another

We need to love ourselves first in All our glory and imperfections

I'd spent five hours that morning trying to write a song that was meaningful and good, and I finally gave up and lay down. Then, "Nowhere Man" came, words and music, the whole damn thing, as I lay down...Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed sleep.

I believe time wounds all heels.
