I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.

It's a battered old suitcase and a hotel someplace and a wound that will never heal.

I always had a great appreciation for jazz, but I'm a very pedestrian musician. I get by. I like to think that my main instrument is vocabulary.

Most people don't care if you're telling them the truth or if you're telling them a lie, as long as they're entertained by it.

If people are a little nervous about approaching you at the market, it's good. I'm not Chuckles The Clown. Or Bozo. I don't cut the ribbon at the opening of markets. I don't stand next to the mayor. Hit your baseball into my yard, and you'll never see it again.

It was a hubba, hubba, ding dang, baby you are just everythang.
