Doomsday is quite within our reach, if we will only stretch for it.

Who was that fatman buried in your place? Just another imitator, plastic surgeons did his face.

My feeling is that, and I've been writing about my family over the years, although it might make them feel uncomfortable, people generally like to be written about. If I've written a song about the family, they enjoy being mentioned in the songs. Nobody's confronted me and said 'don't write any songs about me.

Why kill good people just to get a bad man?

You just do the best you can. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to get worse the more you do it. It can get better, I think... aspects of it, anyway. I mean, I don't write as much as I used to. But I don't do a lot of things as much as I used to. So that's the natural order of things, too. You're more or less living in the present. You're just trying to get that next song, whatever it is. And not think too much about what happened on the last record, or the record you made 20 years ago, because those are over with. Those are done.

Doomsday is quite within our reach, if we will only stretch for it.

After a war, after a concentration camp, I find it's not too difficult to be happy.
