I thank the Lord for the night time.

My writing is different. I think it's better. I think it's deeper. But, strangely enough, it covers a lot of the old ground. Maybe it says it in a more sophisticated way ... but I [have written] about basically the same subjects over the years.

Song Sung Blue took a lot of compressing and refining, and it has one of my favorite lyrics.
Neil Diamond

Acting is a specific discipline. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you have the sensitivities of being an actor.

While the sun God will may your day, sing as a song in search of a voice that is silent, and the one God will make for your way.

I am, I said to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.
