And I think it's safe to say that the single very impressive figure to me was Merle Haggard.

The primary one being, like I said, I don't like rock 'n' roll piano.

I'd like to go back to Paris someday and visit the Lourve museum, get a good running start, and hurl myself at the wall.

My father was a boxer, though. So, I have a particular interest in Ray Mancini, I think.

That's my only active wish. I think if I sang like Don Henley, this would be a lot more agreeable business.

I can saw a woman in two - but you won't want to look in the box when I'm through.

To me, the message of my songs, of all songs, is "enjoy life." My message as a person who evidently doens't have much more planned is the same. It's the only message I ever thought art had any business having.
