I'm starting to feel like so much of rock music is derivative and boring. ↗

Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is. ↗

The world is full of poetry. The air is living with its spirit; and the waves dance to the music of its melodies, and sparkle in its brightness. ↗

It's very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame. But on the other hand, it's really a beautiful thing for someone like me. I dedicated my entire life to this music. ↗

I don't know, my music has always just come from where the wind blew me. Like where I'm at during a particular moment in time. ↗

Making a record? You've got to have the song, then you create a record. I think it's the same with a live performance. If the material is strong, you're already 90% there. I always tell young people it's all about the music, the songs. Work on the songs, work on the songs, work on the songs. ↗

Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things. ↗

The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit. ↗

If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way. ↗

Oh, I will always be honest with my music. The records are black boxes for me. Like if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. I've never let people's opinions affect the way I write. ↗
