“Not to want to say, not to know what you want to say, not to be able to say what you think you want to say, and never to stop saying, or hardly ever, that is the thing to keep in mind, even in the heat of composition.”

“Sometimes you say things in songs even if there's a small chance of them being true.

Then again, at the same time, you're thinking that the only truth on earth is that there is no truth on it. Whatever you are saying, you're saying in a ricky-tick way. There's never time to reflect. You stitched and pressed and packed and drove, is what you did.”

“If you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear.”

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn”
