I love my work, I love the people I work with, I do the best I can.

The best work I can do is to take myself as much as I can out of it and get it as simple as I can.

The songs I love to sing are story songs, from Yiddish songs to Tom Waits.

I love the idea of giving up the vengeful nature that so many of us have.

I desperately want to see the day today and do the best I can not miss a shred of sunlight. It'll be over before I know it.

I'm blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl's eye and a 14 year-old boy's eye. I've been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can.
