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.

This Hollywood ain't no good, I would rather be like Robin Hood.

[You Got To Make It Through The World] it's kind of a survival song. Survival is what's happening and it's basically a song about that.

I'll tell you what does impress me: the fact that a lot of the cats who were our idols are still out there doing it. That impresses me very much.

I went back to Belfast and started a club, the Maritime. No one had thought about doing a blues club, so I was the first.

I was just getting tired of the image bullshit...that man of mystery trip and what have you. What's that all about?
