The only person I ever hurt was myself and even that I did to the minimum. If you can do that and you're still functioning, you're the luckiest person in the world.

I didn't hate being 60 as much as I had 50.

I don't have many easy songs.

You don’t swing where you sleep.

To appear on the stage drunk, to have them leave there and remember me making drunken mistakes, that was death.

I wasn't anything special as a father. But I loved them and they knew it.

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.
