This world's a blessing and a beast everyday.

I dont like doing whats expected. Ive always done best when Ive listened to my instincts rather than following convention or doing what other people think I should do.

The less you know, the more I comprehend. You don't have to drag me down, I descend.

There were bars that began to have acoustic musicians play, it was 1970: Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, America, The Eagles, all that kind of stuff was popular. It was very easy for me to just kind of move in and be noticed.

Cynicism is tough. A cynic's point of view is really pitiful. I derive pleasure out of a lot of things in life. As long as I'm fairly healthy, it's hard to stay dismal for very long.

What's great about art is that if you can reach people, if they hear or see what you do and it moves them, there's a commonality.

Physically, I'm healthy as a horse, always held up. But in the mental illness department, I got my share. It's just what I got.
