Why am I so soft in the middle when the rest of my life is so hard?

Was a sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. Not a negative word was heard.

If you can get humor and seriousness at the same time, you've created a special little thing, and that's what I'm looking for, because if you get pompous, you lose everything.

...music is sometimes the only benign avenue of communication between antagonists.

Not every song I write is ecstasy. And it can happen only one time. After that, when you sing the same melody and words, it's pleasure, but you don't get wiped out.

It's very helpful to start with something that's true. If you start with something that's false, you're always covering your tracks. Something simple and true, that has a lot of possibilities, is a nice way to begin.

The more I get to thinking, the less I tend to laugh.
