The constant fear of a performer is to become what is reflected back at you.

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.

I thought everybody could sing, because everybody in my family could.

I'm a chameleon. I can change my voice a lot. I always was able to, because in my family's music I was a harmony singer, and harmony singing is really hard.

I think if the United States gave anything to culture at large in the 20th century, the most important contribution made was the popular song.

I never thought I'd write, because I'd never written anything in my whole life.

Even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing underneath the same bright star.
