Well folks, that's about it for the show tonight.

I also know that I am not a great technician.

But I say these things in an objective dispassionate manner because, you know, and I can't explain why, but being one of the greatest guitarists in the world simply is not very important to me.

Well folks, that's about it for the show tonight.

The other thing in composition is opening up the unconscious.

Well when I made my first record I thought it would be a good joke to have me on one side, have the lable say John Fahey on one side, and this guy Blind Joe Death on the other side.

I was using them as teachers for technique but I was never trying to be a folk.

Regarding fame, fortune and Oregon I do wish I had more money.

See my father knew a lot about music, he played the piano and he would do theory and stuff like that, but I didn't learn anything from him, but I played that for him and he liked it a lot.

Early Bluegrass is my favorite kind of music, not to many people know that.

As soon as the groupie finds out that you make errors in everyday life like everybody else does and that you are human, they turn on you and hate you.

I just want to be treated like an average guy.

As for fame, it can go to your head and you can become full of yourself.

How can I be a folk? I'm from the suburbs you know.

I thought I'd be wasting my time to go to commercial record companies and make demos for them, because don't forget, I was doing what I was doing and nobody understood what I was doing.

Well I was on the one hand, the more I played the guitar the more I began to really love the guitar and to love virtually any kind of music that anybody played well on guitar.

When I play, I very quickly put myself into a light hypnotic trance and compose while playing, drawing directly from the emotions.

From a social perspective, I am looking for friends, not acolytes.

So I learnt a few country western songs, I bought a chord book, and right away I started writing my own stuff, which nobody else did that, I don't know why.

I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.

Being worshipped is a horrible experience.

Things aren't right. If a burglar breaks into your home and you shoot him, he can sue you. For what, restraint of trade?

Everybody makes mistakes but when goalkeepers make them it is costly. Thats the nature of being a goalkeeper.

Because of her interest and demands, I amplified an average baritone voice into one that is loud and clear.

I don't think anyone sets out to do something bad, it's just that it's very difficult.

I must say also that it's never worked to my disadvantage that I have long, blond hair.

It's been a long road back to health and fitness for me. I am just glad to have been given the opportunity to do what I love most.

I had the feeling I was going to be successful, and I didn't want to be another disappointing Indian.

I was onstage one night and was singing. I hit one note, and I just doubled over. It was like being punched hard in the back. I couldn't put my back up on the plane seat because of the pain. I got massages, thinking it was muscle spasms. The doctor told me at the time that it was my pancreas. I didn't even know.

I have vowed never to take antibiotics again unless I really need them. I also learned to pay attention to my body, know the difference between indigestion, an allergic reaction to food, a parasitic infection or worms. It's incredible how well I know my body. I really love that.

I grew up in the seventies and disco was big. That influenced me the most.

I'm not trying to be the highest-paid receiver in the National Football League. I've never received that, and that's not ever going to happen. So I'm fine with what I have, I make good money, and I'm happy about it.

Cities are made for enemies to destroy.

The league, I think, is doing well. It's growing, it's maturing, and it's becoming a better league.

Individual commitment to a group effort--that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

Jack Thorne writes so well for messed-up teenage girls.

It's true that I've never had a burning desire to rebel against my parents.

Because of the incredible reputation I have, people find me exciting to watch on film.

Idle time is the devil's play.

Look with favor upon a bold beginning.

My employees, there's no deductible in your health care. No deductible, absolutely not. You get paid sick days, as many as you need, personal days.

The worst job I ever had was an office job that I had for six years, and that's nothing against the people who I was surrounded by, because they were wonderful people.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and sell it to all of those who get thirsty from complaining.

I've stepped more into my business and really... taken control for how I want that to be.

As an actor, you're always worried about getting stuck on a show that's not good because working actors need the paycheck. So being cast on a regular procedural, where everything gets wrapped up by the end of the episode, was always a fear of mine because that doesn't really test you as an actor.
