Comedy is what happens when you cross the dateline from the unbearable. Things become so unbearable they become a joke.

An un-named song is like an un-named child, it has no identity.

We have a need to be religious, we need to worship, we need to build totems and shrines and icons, but nobody's sure in honor of what.

I'm 63. It's kind extraordinary that I'm out here at all and people want to see me.

I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.

I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.

Most songs are somewhere between love and death, and mine are no exception.
