No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, "God, so-and-so wrecked that song." Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.

I've often said if I knew where the good songs came from, I'd go there more often.

What a beautiful testament to the creative spirit and its true motives, to creative contribution coming from a place of purpose rather than a hunger for profit.

I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.

There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.

I dreamed about you baby. It was just the other night. Most of you was naked Ah, but some of you was light.

I've always held the song in high regard because songs have got me through so many sinks of dishes and so many humiliating courting events.
