The coming of the kids hasn't come out in my art yet.
Richard got married to a figure skater, and he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator.
The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.
In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving, diving, diving, diving, Diving down to pick up every shiny thing
I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.
Laughing and crying, you know it's the same release.
Paul Simon started piling up a lot of words, more than the bar could handle, and I stopped!
Oh it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers
I paint my joy and I sing my sorrow.
Do you see how you hurt me, baby? So I hurt you too. Then we both get so blue. I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, looking for the key to set me free.
If I'm censoring for anyone, it's for my parents. They are very old-fashioned and moral people. They still don't understand me that well.
The considerations of a corporation, especially now, have nothing to do with art or music.
They paved paradise and put up a parkin lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone
My name had gone stale, and no matter how progressive I got, it was my time to die.
