My songs always sound a lot better in person than they do on the record.

He's written extraordinary songs, hasn't he? I consider him one of the preeminent songwriters of the times. Every song he does has a vitality you don't find everywhere.

they say every man needs protection, they say every man must fall.
yet I swear I see my reflection,some place high above this wall.....and someday I shall be released.

I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.

The people in my songs are all me.

I always hope to be a better person tomorrow than today.
