Breakdowns come, and breakdowns go.

A songwriter's supreme challenge is being complex and simple at the same time

You want to be a writer, don't know how or when? Find a quiet place, use a humble pen.

By the time I was 12 or 13, I felt that I was special, because I could play the guitar and write songs.

My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting.

People ask how I feel about getting old. I tell them I have the same question. I'm learning as I go.

Improvisation is too good to leave to chance.

...music is sometimes the only benign avenue of communication between antagonists.

Lord, I am a surgeon and music is my knife. It cuts away my sorrow and purifies my life.

People talking without speaking,/ People listening without hearing...Sounds of Silence.

I want to rid my heart of envy, and cleanse my soul of rage before I'm through.

If you'll be my body guard, I can be your long lost pal.

Somewhere in a burst of glory / Sound becomes a song.

The thought that life could be better is woven indelibly into our hearts and our brains.

Life I love you, all is groovy.

Faith is an island in the setting sun, But proof is the bottom line for everyone.

We've survived by believing our life is going to get better.

We work our jobs, collect our pay, believe were gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away.

No one dare disturb the sound of silence...
