Basically, I think you need two things to get by in this world: a sense of humor and the ability to laugh when your ego is destroyed.

But think of the last guy. For one minute, think of the last guy. Nobodys got it worse than that guy. Nobody in the whole world.

Songwriting is like fishing in a stream; you put in your line and hope to catch something. And I don't think anyone downstream from Bob Dylan ever caught anything.

We would turn everything into songs in those days...A lot of people think "Alice's Restaurant" was an anti-war song. It's not.
