Barbecue sauce is like a beautiful woman. If it's too sweet, it's bound to be hiding something.

She was ugly from the front, and I said ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly. Well, I could handle it behind her.

There's no bad luck, There's just the luck you've found.

Somehow you can tell the difference when a song is written just to get on the radio and when what someone does is their whole life. That comes through in Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson. There is no separating their life from their music.

You don't have to have anything in common with people you've known since you were five. With old friends, you've got your whole life in common.

Beyond hoping that someone will like one of my songs, I don't think about how a song will be received. I just hope that, when somebody hears one of my songs, they'll want to hear it again.
