Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.

There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.
Van Morrison

I'd come to the point where I wasn't really putting out creatively. I didn't seem to have anything to say in that period of time after the '74 tour. There was nothing definite that I wanted to record.

At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.

I think I opened up an area with Astral Weeks that hit a lot of peoples' nerves. But you can't really say that they're my favorite songs.

You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.

In deep confusion, in great despair, when I reach out for him, he is there. When I am lonely as I can be, then I know God shines his light on me.
