A secret is too little for one, enough for two, and too much for three.
I like songs that are simple.
I think it's good if a song has more than one meaning. Maybe that kind of song can reach far more people.
I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.
It's rather difficult to think of anybody being really interested in me. But you know, man, I am totally together.
I was sleeping in the woods one night after a gig we'd played somewhere, when I saw this girl appear before me. That girl was Emily. (on how he wrote "See Emily Play") "Chapter 24"-that was from the "I Ching", there was someone around who was very into that, most of the words came straight off that. "Lucifer Sam" was another one-it didn't mean much to me at the time, but then three or four months later it came to mean a lot.
I’m not anything that you think I am
For me, what I am making in the novel is a place to live. When I first switched from poetry to novels, I was asked why, and the metaphor I came up with was about poems as rooms. You can make a room perfect, but then you have to shut the door and never go back, whereas a novel is like a house - it can never be perfect, but you can make a life in it.
To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep up.
It's always been my mom and I against the world.
Love comes quietly. . . but you know when it is there because suddenly. . . you are not alone anymore. . . and there is no sadness in you.
