I'm one of the few people that I know that sings better than they did 20 years ago.

I think the criticism that I take to heart is from other writers that I respect.

Maybe I'm not as big a star as Bruce Springsteen because I'm not as good. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I still have an audience of a certain size. I think it's one of the things I'm luckiest.

My therapist says that I choose women that I couldn't possibly succeed in a relationship with because I really want to be alone. Which sounds complicated and convoluted to me, but I don't know. Maybe she's right. There's a part of me that wants that.

At home, I'm lucky if I can write three or four hours before the phone starts ringing and the kids want to go to soccer.

The revolution starts now.

I wasn't raised to not write about issues, and I'm just living in really politically charged times. You know, I'd rather write songs about girls, but it's just hard to do right now.
