I got a little bit famous. I didn't like it.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

I liked when I was naive and I thought it was just about making good music.

I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.

I may cry ruining my make up, Wash away all things you've taken.. I don't care if I don't look pretty, Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking.

I don't want to be famous, or recognizable.

People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.

I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.

The risk is too great. A man cannot place too much faith in any one thing, neither a woman, nor a horse, nor a weapon, nor any single thing.

The history of music is mortal, but the idiocy of the guitar is eternal.

Greatness comes with patience.

Everyone is allowed to have their own boundaries. You just are. No matter how you dress, no matter what you say or anything, and I feel strongly about that.

Just tell me what to do. I don't know where I'm going, but I know I don't want to be here.

Creativity is basically subversive. . . .

A woman I should like to think I know rather well and a woman I had always considered a mystery, are in fact the same person.

There are silences harder to take back than words.

Anything where there's great enthusiasm, and a place to come share what you think is cool.

There is a fundamental error in separating the parts from the whole, the mistake of atomizing what should not be atomized. Unity and complementarity constitute reality.
