My so-called career is a haphazard thing.

The thing you must remember is that I'm the Number One John Lennon fan. I love him to this day and I always did love him

When you're wide awake say it for goodness sake, it's gonna be a great day.

Domesticity is the enemy of art. I don't know if that's true. You can write good happy songs. So, I don't think it's necessarily happiness. But I think self-satisfaction is maybe the enemy. It's kind of better to think, "Tomorrow night I'm gonna sing it better." There is this forward effort. It feels to me right, it feels human.
