I alwaysthought of myself as a competent, minor poet. I know who I'm up against.

We are awakening from the dream of isolation, from the dream of loneliness, and it's a terrible shock.

I hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.

I think what we like about music - and what we like about art in general....is that enterprise that stops our minds from spinning. Because we're always all over the place. A good song, a good lyric is a movie: it will just focus and calm and confer significance on this completely bewildering reality that all of us live in.

I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.

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

Just to get serious about this thing, you know. One has to be compassionate. It's true that people are up against things, economically and emotionally.
