Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine.

The music industry went through such a strange stretch in 1977, especially in this country, with the whole punk rock thing coming about. Punk was rebellious-and justified in that response-but it had very little to do with music, and so it created a highly-charged but frighteningly floundering atmosphere that I found very, very disheartening. Musical quality for me has always been an important part of rock'n'roll-and winning recognition for that has long been an uphill battle all the way. Punk seemed like rock'n'roll utterly without the music.

One man puts the fire out, the other lights the fuse.

The music I write, I feel, is not the kind of music for a 25-year-old.

Half of us is easy, the other half is hard. Even though we do our best, we end up being scarred.

Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

When the rhythm and night ride, no heart can hide.
