At least I've had one foot in a very normal kind of life.

I don't get depressed and I don't get bored.

Speaking as one who has abused privilege a long time, I tell you, it's great to be alive.

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.

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

I might have made a tactical error not going to a physician for 20 years. It was one of those phobias that didn't pay off.

I lay my head on the railroad track, waitin' on the Double E. But the train don't run by here no more, poor, poor, pitiful me.
