I feel I should try to reveal. When you hit it right, you produce an emotional response in the listener that can be cathartic. When you're wrong, you're soppy, sentimental.

The course of a lifetime runs/over and over again

So I'll continue to continue to pretend my life will never end, and flowers never bend with the rainfall.

I would be willing to do almost anything to make Art happy. I care about our friendship. The only thing I won't do is change the essence of my work.

I get the news I need on the weather report And I have nothing to do today but smile

It's pointless to be critical of your stuff once it's done. I don't spend a lot of time agonising over it. It's of no importance once it's finished.

Serious numbers will speak to us always.
