When I began experimenting, people weren't ready for it. Once it's in its second and third generational stages, people can accept it.

Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.

I still believe in the power of the word, that words inspire.

I had made all these rules for myself: I'm not writing social commentary, I'm not writing love songs.

Everyone I know has attention deficit, and they say it with great pride. It's a bad time to be right.

No one likes to have less than they had before. That's the nature of the human animal.

I was young for my age. Not as naïve as they expected. I don't know why I seem to bring that out in people.
