And what exactly is a dream and what exactly is a joke?

I think it's good if a song has more than one meaning. Maybe that kind of song can reach far more people.

I’m not anything that you think I am.

I never felt so close to a guitar as that silver one with mirrors that I used on stage all the time.

I'm disappearing, avoiding most things.

I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.

I was sleeping in the woods one night after a gig we'd played somewhere, when I saw this girl appear before me. That girl was Emily. (on how he wrote "See Emily Play") "Chapter 24"-that was from the "I Ching", there was someone around who was very into that, most of the words came straight off that. "Lucifer Sam" was another one-it didn't mean much to me at the time, but then three or four months later it came to mean a lot.
