You'd be surprised how many stupid mistakes I've made. I make stupid mistakes all the time, and some of them have been very big stupid mistakes.

But I decline to say who has ever listened to them, who has written them, or other people who have sung them.

Most conservatives just want to turn back the clock to a time before the income tax - 100 years or so. I would like to turn the clock back thousands of years to a time when people lived in small communities and took care of each other.

I never intended to make a living from music. That's the funny thing. I wanted to be a journalist.

If I had an axe on the evening at Newport when [Dylan] broke out the electric guitar, I'd have cut his cable.

My mother gave me a ukulele at age eight, and I sang the popular tunes of the day.

I have to resist the temptation to want to learn everything. You know, you can't. You have to restrict yourself at some time, or else you find yourself just being spread too thin. And already I think I try too many things.
