Most magic is a trick, an illusion. But [when The Beatles played the Ed Sullivan Show], this was real. Man oh man, was it real.

I'm certainly not a Robin Hood, I'm not that way. I don't want to come through, burn everybody for $200 a ticket and then they can't afford to come see me again. Plus, I just don't think it's right. I don't think we need that much money. I just do what seems like the logical thing to do.

When I decided to be a musician I reckoned that that was going to be the way of less profit, less money. I was sort of giving up the idea of making a lot of money. It was what I loved to do. I would have done it anyway. If I'd had to work at Taco Bell I'd have still been out at night trying to play music.

Take back your insurance, baby, nothing is guaranteed. Take back your acid rain, let your TV bleed.

'Free Fallin'' is a very good song. Maybe it would be one of my favorites if it hadn't become this huge anthem. But I'm grateful that people like it.

Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.

I had the radio on, I was driving. Trees flew by, me and Del were singing, Little Runaway, I was flying.

Honey, don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow.

If 20,000 people start to sing, you tend to go along with it.
