I had the radio on, I was driving. Trees flew by, me and Del were singing, Little Runaway, I was flying.

I tend to write on an acoustic guitar or the piano. I have kind of a rule: if I can't sit down and play this and get the song over, I don't take it to the band, because most any good song, you can sit down and deliver it with a piano or a guitar.

As we celebrate mediocrity, all the boys upstairs want to see. How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free.

I have turned down a lot of money for things that would have made me feel cheesy.

I like to be an optimist, but I like to be a realist, too.

Redemption comes to those who wait, forgiveness is the key.

No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down.

'Free Fallin' is a very good song. Maybe it would be one of my favorites if it hadn't become this huge anthem. But I'm grateful that people like it.

I should have known right then it was too good to last, God, it's such a drag when you're livin' in the past.

Time to move on, time to get going. What lies ahead I have no way of knowing. But under my feet, baby, grass is growing.

I've never had any idea that what I like would resonate with the audience, and I'm pleasantly surprised when it does.

There's a freeway running through the yard.

There used to be this real sense of community integrity in rock. It has really eroded. Everyone seems to be on their own now.

If you're not getting older, you're dead.

I didn't think you could just become a rock and roll singer.

I'm not interested in the TV much. I quit watching the news a couple years ago and my outlook on life has gotten a whole lot better.

Sometimes life, will get you down, break your heart, steal your crown.

My sister got lucky, married a yuppie, and took him for all he was worth. Now she's a swinger dating a singer, I can't decide which is worse.

God, it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far out of reach.
