I'll sleep when I'm dead.

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.

I couldn't sleep for two years, they tried to break my nerves. They used a lot of psychology to brainwash.

I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.

I came across awful characters when I got some kind of status and came to Hollywood. Then you have directors trying to sleep with you, assuming that you will do things because of the way you dress.

I sing seriously to my mom on the phone. To put her to sleep, I have to sing "Maria" from West Side Story. When I hear her snoring, I hang up.

Well, especially now I come to realize - and then - I would do my schooling which was three hours with a tutor and right after that I would go to the recording studio and record, and I'd record for hours and hours until it's time to go to sleep.

My father said there were two kinds of people in the world: givers and takers. The takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.

So to me, Texas Hold 'em puts me to sleep. At least when you play stud, you can be funny as you deal. Somebody some day is going to come up with a Stud show that's going to work.

I couldn't sleep one night and I was sitting in my office and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker.

It's funny how sometimes how the public some people think I was born like this. That I maybe I sleep and I do big muscle, but its a lot of work to look like this and to be in this kind of condition.

Leisure time is that five or six hours when you sleep at night.

I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.
