If you live the life you love, you get the blessing from above.

[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 never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.

I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.

My bag is approaching something and taking it to another place. Like words-you take a word and by the time you've finished with it, you milk it and you go through the emotion of what it is, what it means there and then.

My responsibility is to fulfil what that natural thing is. The thing that I dislike about pop rock Top 40 music is that it's not natural.

The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.
