You are a fool in four letters, my son.
Did you ever look in the mirror And see a stranger standing there? Did you ever drive for miles and miles And wonder how on earth you got yourself there?
And if you stop and think about it you won't believe it's true: That all the love you've been giving has all been meant for you.
My songs form a kind of biography or diary of my life as they are about people I have loved and people I only knew in my heart, places I have seen only for a moment and places I have lived all my life.
Nights in white satin never reaching the end Letters I've written never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say any more Cause I love you Yes I love you Oh how I love you
I can be stupid in my lyrics or say whatever I want without having to worry about anybody else's feeling or anybody being embarrassed by it or anything like that.
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
Being a politician is a poor profession. Being a public servant is a noble one.
Tis better people think you a fool, then open your mouth and erase all doubt.
Essentially, I'm untrained, so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I'm going to be playing.
I am a strong believer in the intertwined nature of the personal and the political; I think they move together.
