Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, that's a part of the plan. Await your arrival with simple survival, and one day we'll all understand.

I wish I was a little more gregarious and outgoing

You're successful if you can get one person to pick it up and put it on the turntable and go, Wow, thanks for writing that!

Love is the promise that guides me.

Down the ancient corridors through the gates of time, run the ghosts of dreams that we have left behind.

Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight. Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright. Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light

My life is as an artist, not an entertainer. I don't consider myself an entertainer, but I can do that thing when I want to

There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find, though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind

A simple smile, a tender touch, speaks the true language of love.

Between the worlds of men and make believe I can be found.

I love to rock 'n roll. But my finest suit, of all the things I do, is as a songwriter.

The truth is that we all live by leaving behind

Do not deny the truth.

Most of the men and women who vote in Congress each year to continue subsidies have taken campaign donations from big energy companies.

You might as well try and dam Niagara Falls with toothpicks as to stop the reform wave sweeping our land.

...when we are comfortable and inattentive, we run the risk of committing grave injustices absentmindedly.

Occasionally it does hit me, the words on a page. And I still love doing that, as I have for the last 60 years.

You may never be less alone than when you are alone.

Support your libraries... or else!

Believing hear, what you deserve to hear: Your birthday as my own to me is dear... But yours gives most; for mine did only lend Me to the world; yours gave to me a friend.

I love watching a good, freaky horror movie. I love it. It's one of my favorite things to do, to go and see at the cinema. Just to tune out and be freaked out.
