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.

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.

I am told that there have been over the years a number of experiments taking place in places like Massachusetts Institute of Technology that have been entirely based on concepts raised by Star Trek.

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