Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.

The thing you have to be prepared for is that other people don't always dream your dream.

I dont think you can look for love. All you can do is get yourself in a situation where you dont discourage something that may be rather nice.

In committing to artistic growth, you have to refine your skills to support your instincts.

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.

The dream world of sleep and the dream world of music are not far apart. I often catch glimpses of one as I pass through a door to the other, like encountering a neighbor in the hallway going into the apartment next to one’s own. In the recording studio, I would often lie down to nap and wake up with harmony parts fully formed in my mind, ready to be recorded. I think of music as dreaming in sound.

This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know.
