I have no doubt in mind that I justify the space I take up in the world.

I grew up counterculture. I'm essentially a hippie, and I'm essentially a folkie.

I don't spend a lot of time feeling sorry for myself, trying to compare how many records I've sold or how much money I've made.

I'm not going to waste a second feeling sorry for myself because I'm not a bigger star than I am. I can walk down the street in most places in the world and I still drive really nice cars.

Every day on Earth is another chance to get it right.

Or you can be like the Soviet Union, start out with ideals, and end up ceasing to exist.

I still write more songs about girls than anything else.
