I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

I'm ready and willing to get it done.

We've said for weeks now that we are ready, willing and able to meet Sikorsky at the negotiating table and work out a fair contract that gets our people back to work and lets them maintain affordable health care benefits. What I do want is for both sides to fully understand the wide-ranging effects this situation is having on individuals, families, communities and the state as a whole.

I was just a folk singer. I cut my teeth on the streets, you know.

I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people; we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world; we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.
