I would love to have been born in the 60s.

People say to me 'You've changed.' and I say 'Haven't you?' People change, it's just life.

Sometimes Lennon needed McCartney and sometimes Simon needed Garfunkel. You'd go mad doing everything on your own.

As a songwriter, it's very hard to listen to music that's not coming from the heart and soul, personally.

If a song is longer than three and a half minutes, itll need something to keep you entertained.

I play music because I love it and I'll keep playin' till I'm old.

Stuck in speed bump city/Where the only thing that's pretty/Is the thought of getting out.

I drink to remember I smoke to forget / Some things to be proud of, some stuff to regret.

Perhaps I’m not a nice person, but no one’s perfect.

I dont need an award to inspire me to keep making music.

Bob Dylan is great. Ive been compared to him a lot. I think when people see a person on stage with a guitar they just think, Bob Dylan!

I've been sleeping with the night light unpluggedWith a note on the rocking chairIt says I'm dreaming of the life I once lovedSo wake me if you're out there

I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.

I don't know much, but I understand how entirely doomed I am without God.

When you have that first flash of what you think is going to be a great idea-from the mouth, from the hands-that's an amazing feeling. I don't think anything's quite as good as that.

One seldom loves people for their virtues.

I realized that most people waste their lives earning a living, and I wanted to live. I love painting, so I keep painting. That's how I became an artist.

That is the ego which rises and sinks periodically. But you exist always. That which lies beyond the ego is consciousness - the Self.

They pursue meaninglessness until they can force it to mean.

When my time comes, just skin me and put me up there on Trigger, just as though nothing had ever changed.

The problem with competition is that it takes away the requirement to set your own path, to invent your own method, to find a new way.
