It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all

I came through folk music simply because it was easy to get into it.

Land of snap decisions, land of short attention spans, nothing is savored long enough to really understand.

All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.

In a pure anonymous encounter you find a world alive and full of character. In New York, the street adventures are incredible. There are a thousand stories in a single block. You see the stories in people's faces. You hear the songs immediately. Here, in Los Angeles, there are fewer characters because they are all inside automobiles.

My parents told me I'd point to a bed of flowers and say 'Pink. Pretty,' before I knew any other words.

What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys and modalities mid-song.
