I have inspiration and feelings of being alive most every day I live

I look in the mirror through the eyes of the child that was me.

I may like the Blizzard best, of all the songs I have written

I don't think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs don't come from the surface; they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart.

I don't know where my songs come from... If I knew, I'd know too much, more than we are allowed on this plane.

I am thrilled to have been able to put together this new album. I listened to everything I had recorded in the 24 years with Elektra, and then just took all the ones I am mad about.

I think suicide is sort of like cancer was 50 years ago. People don't want to talk about it, they don't want to know about it. People are frightened of it, and they don't understand, when actually these issues are medically treatable.
