I'm learning a lot about myself being alone, and doing what I'm doing.

To be honest, I'm not as goal oriented and ambitious as I once was.

And I think it's a real challenge to be up there sometimes with only a keyboard if they don't have a grand piano... and to try to win people over that way. It's really hard.

Time, where did you go? / Why did you leave me here alone? / Wait, don't go so fast / I'm missing the moments as they pass

The flattery is nice, but awards don't add up to writing quality songs.

I can't say I want to earn a particular award or sell a certain number of records, because even if I do that, the satisfaction only lasts five minutes.

Some people will only love you as much as they can use you. their loyalty ends where the benefits stop.

Only a few individuals succeed in throwing off mythology in a time of a certain intellectual supremacy--the mass never frees itself.

We rely more on enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more.

The person of wisdom is the person of years.

I describe incidents which may or may not have happened but which are true.

The great day of the Fire-eater - or, should I say, the day of the great Fire-eater - has passed.

It's very tough to get yourself around the idea that there could be a mechanism being used or abused to restrict and alter the society in which we live.
