I just play, and I'm always trying to write songs.

There was just no way I could leave this little Martin guitar in my apartment overnight or even in the afternoon, and expect to find it there when I got back.

I don't cringe when I think of doing old material. A lot of the people have been with me through the years.

So I played the acoustic guitar and harmonica and stomped my foot and I think I was right in assuming that Greenwich Village would be the best place to perform my own material and possibly get some attention, move on to making records and all.

It doesn't matter much what kind of house you've got as long as it's a happy home.

I've had an advantage; I've had a sort of open public acceptance in New York that doesn't happen to just anyone trying to make the transition you were talking about.

It's often said that life is strange. But compared to what?
