when your down on your luck and you've lost all your dreams theres nothing like a campfire and a can of beans

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.

There's truths there that spiral out of what appears to be just a word game. That's what I find mystifying about the meanings of things: they kind of unscrew themselves from the practical words.

I always thought songs are movies for the ears and films are like songs for the eyes.

I like my music with the rinds and the seeds and pulp left in.

Your hands are like dogs, going to the same places they've been. You have to be careful when playing is no longer in the mind but in the fingers, going to happy places. You have to break them of their habits or you don't explore; you only play what is confident and pleasing. I'm learning to break those habits by playing instruments I know absolutely nothing about, like a bassoon or a waterphone.

Oh, I got a beautiful 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille four-door. No one will ride in it with me.
