"Life is neither a glorious highlight reel nor a monstrous tragedy. Every day is a good day to live and a good day to die. Every day is also an apt time to learn and express joy and love for the entire natural world. Each day is an apt time to make contact with other people and express empathy for the entire world. Each day is perfect to accept with indifference all aspects of being."

"When all this started, I asked myself, 'Am I going to withdraw from the world, like most people do, or am I going to live?'I decided I'm going to live---or at least try to live---the way I want, with dignity, with courage, with humor, with composure."

"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."

"You're not the only one who's made mistakes, but they're the only things that you can truly call your own."
Mistake
"It's really hard to make a living as a musician. It's almost impossible."
Living
"In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job."
Age
"When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory."
Education
"My songs are like my kids."
Kids
"Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are."
Life
"I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women."
Music
"I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary."
Opinion
"Historically, musicians know what it is like to be outside the norm - walking the high wire without a safety net. Our experience is not so different from those who march to the beat of different drummers."
Experience
"I don't know why people thought I was retiring."
