I am doomed or fortunate to stick to what I do best.
I have never made a cent off a record in my life. I have never recouped enough, and I never sold enough.
As a musician, I have always refrained from criticizing another artist.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy detective or a rock star.

I would go to heaven, if I believed in heaven.
I wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep.
