Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away.

There is a moment, a chip in time, when leaving home is the lesser crime.

I'm always going forward toward something, and that something is usually an album, because I like to record. I probably like to record more than I like to write.

We've survived by believing our life is going to get better.
