Piano is like drudgery.

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.

If you look at the evolution of games from console to Internet to mobile, and look at social networking from Web to mobile, everything is fragmenting.

Whenever I watch a show and twentysomethings have a lot of 'Star Wars' references, I know it's written by a 40-year-old dude.

Lust is a pleasure bought with pains, a delight hatched with disquiet, a content passed with fear, and a sin finished with sorrow.

In general, we need America to take its game up a notch when it comes to broadband. It's important to acknowledge the billions and billions of dollars of investment in fiber. But we need more.

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

The scientist is a lover of truth for the very love of truth itself, wherever it may lead.

I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.

I have spent my whole life working in the theater, and most of the people I know have done the same. And we are pretty interesting people.

To me the recognition of the audience is part of the filmmaking process. When you make a movie, it's for them.

If there's something that you hear on TV about me, just call me and I'll tell you if it's true.

In order to preserve the dominion of our own passions, it behooves us to be constantly and strictly on our guard against the influence and infection of the passions of others.
