The past is stronger than my will to forgive forgive you, or myself, I don't know.

When you get into recovery after some addiction you have to relearn a lot of perceptions, attitudes and self-awareness if you want to stay clean. You really do change. Change doesn't happen often but to a certain extent in some way, I think when you get into recovery and you stay there, you change.

There were bars that began to have acoustic musicians play, it was 1970: Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, America, The Eagles, all that kind of stuff was popular. It was very easy for me to just kind of move in and be noticed.

Give me some credit for the hell I've paid.

You say in life, mistakes are many. How come you never admit to any?

It's really fun to listen to other people and be an accompanist.

Without music, I could not get through.

I dont like doing whats expected. Ive always done best when Ive listened to my instincts rather than following convention or doing what other people think I should do.

And I never saw blue like that before across the sky around the world

One of the dumber things my manager said was, Stick to the melody. But I can't.
