Please know that being 80 is not a scary thing. When you're 80, your life is much freer.

Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.

Someday I'll be remembered for The phone calls I never made Letters I never mailed And the stories I never finished telling anyone.

I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.

I admire all people who are trying to be a good power in this chaotic world.

Creativity is innate and it manifests itself in so many forms. It needs to come out somehow or it destroys you in some way.

The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don't have anything on paper.
