Something comes along and you have to jump on and do it. You can't stop until it's done.

The person who builds a character makes foes.

I don't like the current political system in the USA and some other countries. Increasingly democracy has been hijacked by corporate interests.

I don't think there is one president that's come down the line that hasn't done something good somewhere.

I would play all the parts of the song, show them the way it went together. Then I'd basically break down an arrangement - I wouldn't plan endings or beginnings - so they knew everything that was going on. I had the lyrics on a prompter so that I could remember everything I'd written, and I was able to just get into the groove and play with them. I think "Peace Trail" is one of the exceptions, where it's a later take. It just happened really quickly.

Crazy friends provide for crazy times, and such crazy times we're had.

I can get away with saying a lot of ideas that are young and naive. I'm liberated.
