My upbringing made me think that real legitimate music is written, not heard

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

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.

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.

We can never flee the misery that is within us.

There are men whom you will never dislodge from an opinion, except by taking possession of it yourself.

People who inspire others are those who see invisible bridges at the end of dead-end streets

I don't think people have seen yet what I can really do. Only appetizers!

I am always watching for fear of getting feeble and passé in my work. I don't want to trickle out. I want to pour till the pail is empty, the last bit going out in a gush, not in drops.

I play hard and aggressive. I don't lay out the huge body checks because it's not really the style I play. But I love to be around the net and love battling corners and trying to dish pucks out.

You can't teach a young musician to compose any more than you can teach a delicate plant to grow, but you can guide him a little by planting a stick in here and a stick in there.

They often say, "What's the point in astrology if you can't change your destiny?" Well, it's true that you can't change your destiny, but still it helps knowing about gravity.
