[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've always listened to jazz or folk or blues. I was always listening to the prophets. I don't really go for...I don't know how to say anything about the singles scene without slamming people.

Performing was the natural thing originally and the rest of it [records and so on] is just like offshoots of that. That's how I see it anyway.

It's all complete instinct and intuition, and that's extremely difficult to teach.

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.

There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles.

Leave your thoughtlessness behind you then you may begin to understand. Clear the emptiness around you with the waving of your hand.
