I don't learn so good, no matter how good the teacher is.

I'll sleep when I'm dead.

I remember certain lines and whose they are.

And I think it's safe to say that the single very impressive figure to me was Merle Haggard.

Duncan Aldrich has been my partner in most recording projects, and touring projects, for the past decade.

But there's a thin line between songwriting and arranging.

I don't like piano solos.

I mean, I haven't been completely lacking in some enjoyment of Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. But I just didn't pay attention to that period of music, obviously.

That's my only active wish. I think if I sang like Don Henley, this would be a lot more agreeable business.

I had a good guitar, and I was a young, young kid.

Glenn Gould was my hero. Glenn Gould was my idol. I loved him.

Dylan can do no wrong.

Well, I don't think it ever did, but in the early '60s I got interested in folk music.

The primary one being, like I said, I don't like rock 'n' roll piano.

My memory is not even what most people's is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this.

I don't learn so good, no matter how good the teacher is.

But I can't say that I didn't like John Hammond's performances often better than the originals.

Everywhere I go, I have my little Steinberger, and I like it very well.

My father was a boxer, though. So, I have a particular interest in Ray Mancini, I think.

So I guess I had, I think they tell me I had, about three years total of piano lessons, off and on.

You had to go to a different part of town from where I was to get Muddy Waters singles. I had him on singles.

Enjoy every sandwich.

It took me 10 years to realize that I don't know 'em, 10 years to realize that it's possible to learn them, then another 10 years to learn how to do things.

Mutineer is the first album of mine without a demo stage.

Dylan doesn't have to make Blonde On Blonde every time.

Well, first of all, let me say that I might have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years. It was one of those phobias that really didn't pay off.

My first album is like a terrible John Hammond album, with drums.

I wish I sang better.

I missed jazz, kind of. And by the time I came to it in life, it was too intimidating to enjoy thoroughly.

I have no guitar technique.

Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too.

I'm not a big jazz fan.

Yeah, I don't like, um, I'm not interested in rock 'n' roll piano. I find it a little grating.

I played a lot of real normal, straight sessions.

Well, I was interested in playing the piano from as early as I can remember.

I loved Hendrix. I mean, really, really loved him. As if he were one of the great classical composers. And he was. That's how I saw him.

Piano is like drudgery.

The weird thing about acting is you're the most competent when you're at your best, but you have to be validated.

I think the way we talk about cancer has really evolved. I remember the way my grandmother used to talk about it, like a death sentence, no-one would even mention the word.

Let me just say that I'm the only candidate in this race now that has any firsthand experience fighting terrorism. And both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, I think, have proven in different ways that they're unprepared for that challenge.

Trying to understand the way nature works involves a most terrible test of human reasoning ability. It involves subtle trickery, beautiful tightropes of logic on which one has to walk in order not to make a mistake in predicting what will happen. The quantum mechanical and the relativity ideas are examples of this.

My birth was managed so rottenly that my mother had eventually to have a hysterectomy, after which she was ill off & on till she dies for obscure reasons when I was just 7.

Males transmit signals in courtship through behavioral displays.

Sometimes you can tell a wise person not only by what he says but also by what he doesn't say. Remember, it is much better to say little than to say too much and regret it later.

I grew up listening to hits, and if I write something I feel, I think that's pretty mass appeal. I'm not very elitist with music. Love is universal; a great melody is universal; it goes around the world; it's not just American. A great song can touch the world.

I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.

I was the official wedding photographer at one of my best friends' weddings. Fortunately she was one of the most easygoing brides ever, so she made it easy for me.

I never met a Jesuit before I applied for the order.

You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear
