Judy Henske, who was the then reigning queen of folk music, said to me at The Troubadour, 'Honey, in this town there are four sexes. Men, women, homosexuals, and girl singers.'

I feel sorry for a culture that depends too much on delegating its musical expression to professionals. It is fine to have heroes, but we should do our own singing first, even if it is never heard beyond the shower curtain.

I love sex as much as I love music, and I think it's as hard to do.

I get on the airplane and there's a screen in front of everything. You get into a taxicab in New York, there's a screen blinking at you. I think it's going to have a tremendous effect on our brains, because those bright, saturated colors and those strong lines, they do things to your brain.

When the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

American radio from the '30s through the '60s was just fabulous. There was such a diversity.

Time washes clean, love's wounds unseen.
