I wish I had as much in bed as I get in the newspapers.

I think there's mind in nature. There's a power in nature, and there's a universal power that you'd better not ignore.

I think the zenith of popular songwriting to the United States of America was that period that started in the '20s and went into the '50s. It was the period of the great American standard song.

the relentless touring and endless repetition of the same songs over and over again promoted a creeping awareness that my music had begun to sound like my washing machine.

I think musicians are always supportive of each other because they want the groove to keep going on. They just basically want to play music.

Mainly, when I ran into Emmylou Harris, that was it, you know? We could finish each other's sentences musically, and personally, too. We have a very shared, similar sensibility. And that was a friendship that really opened up a tremendous number of musical doors for me.

Time washes clean, love's wounds unseen.
