A lot of things come together to make up a song. It's just images.

Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds that I may be a vehicle for thee.

Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.

The whole trip that happened in the late 60s and 70s was kind of a throwback to a lot of folk styles. I got into it as well 'cause I started with the folk styles.

There's quite a few people getting into that - new acts coming along that are using a lot of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s. They're completely ignoring the 70s which is kind of a turn on because to me nothing has really gone down in the 70s.

Hearing the blues changed my life.

If you're putting somebody down, you're doing it because you're just seeing a part of yourself that you don't like. That's all that is.
