He saw my complications and he mirrored me back simplified, and we laughed how our perfect world would always be denied.
When I came to California, it was the mecca of the world. Every young person on the planet wanted to be here.
America is in a runaway-train position and dragging all the world with it. It's grotesquely mentally ill.
I see the entire world as Eden, and every time you take an inch of it away, you must do so with respect.
I have one piece of music, since 1997, and I don't see it having lyrics. Where does it go in this world? So I haven't recorded it.
There are things to confess that enrich the world, and things that need not be said.
When the world becomes a massive mess with nobody at the helm, it's time for artists to make their mark.
And the seasons, they go round and round,/ And the painted ponies go up and down./ We're captive on the carousel of time.
Say, won't you stay; we'll put on the day and we'll talk in present tenses
People think it's being remodeled, ... I tell them, and they say, 'What? What do you mean they're tearing down the old high-school building?'
I've looked at life from both sides now/ From win and lose and still somehow/ It's life's illusions I recall/ I really don't know life at all.
Sorrow is easy to express and so hard to tell.
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say 'I love you' right out loud.
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels/ The dizzy dancing way you feel/ As every fairy tale comes real/ I've looked at love that way.
