Quote

I don't have the same restrictions that other people do because I never painted myself into a corner. I've always done things that didn't necessarily fit the form. I've never felt limited in that respect in terms of songwriting.

If you're familiar enough with my body of work, my voice is a familiar totem, in a sense. I guess I have something characteristic in the way that I sing, although I'm not very personally self-conscious about it, so I don't think about it that much. But when I hear the record I can tell it's me.

There are still people who believe in that and wake up every day believing it's possible, and invest their whole selves in that.

I've got billions of sparrows to worry about as well as everything else'. So there's the whole idea that whatever it is that you believe, it can never be valid unless you have some consensus reality demonstration.

I'll come around to see you once in a while, or if I ever need a reason to smile, and spend the night if you think I should.

I get my sticks and go out to the shed, and I pound on that drum like it was my boss's head.

If you will, then you will, for nothing can withstand your will. As your faith is, so you are, where your mind is there you are.

There must be a God because he made me.

Singles needed to come back. And what I tried to do in my online experiment was to change the rules for myself and make available at a more regular pace the fruits of my labour, for people who decided they wanted to support my recordings.

I suppose people also have to be a little more careful or circumspect if they're going to leverage their celebrity to promote their political aims. The problem is that politics is about the accretion of power, and it's very difficult not to get giddy with power.

Today I saw a car crush my little dog under it's wheel.

You would have thought that as you got older the voice would tend to deteriorate in some ways, but I always look at somebody like Tony Bennett, who is my senior, and still can hit those high notes and still can belt it out as good as he ever did. So it must be something about the voice that's unlike the rest of the muscles in your body.

I'd like to continue to play until I drop dead on stage or something.

I prefer hallucinations cause they tend to make more sense than experience.

I know that I could make this world peaceful and calm, if I only could get my hands on a hydrogen bomb.

I've always said, rather glibly, that the message of my career has been about individualism, about getting to know yourself and taking responsibility, not just for what you do, but what you think.
Todd Rundgren

People got a little too self-conscious about the techniques that go into recording because sometimes, if you sing too well in tune, people accuse you of auto-tuning. It's like you have to use auto-detuning or something.

Kept his locker full of weed just to satisfy his smoking needs and his love of fire.

I've had production offers with artists I really admire, and oftentimes that doesn't work out. Sometimes it does, but... For instance I was asked if I wanted to do a Talking Heads album back in the late '70s, early '80s, and I was already working on a different project and didn't have time, so I never got the opportunity to work with them.

It's the only way that YOUR life is gonna have any value to you. If you're just living the same life that everybody else is living what's the point?
