Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied

I realized I was growing up or something like that. You have responsibilities...you've got to think about getting your act together. I didn't even know what it had been doing to me. I didn't realize how dangerous it was. People talked in terms of drugs and I used to think in terms of...well in Ireland, everybody drinks. Nobody gives it a second thought. You're Irish number one and you're a drinker number two. That's the first two things about us Irish.

Meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion, and expect them to rise for the occasion.

It's like something happened to you that caused you to do what you do...you heard something somewhere, you felt something about this music that was definitely part of your own vision. That's what the whole thing is like.

I can see more naturalness in basic blues, basic R & B, basic rock 'n' roll.

I don't have any regrets about the album [Veedon Fleece]. But it's the same old story - an album is basically 35 or 40 minutes of what you do. It's 'part' of what you do.

I shall drive my chariot down your street and cry hey it's me.
