People have often written about me, that I did this for this reason and that for that reason, and theyre usually 98 percent wrong Picture Quote #1

The thing you have to be prepared for is that other people don’t always dream your dream Picture Quote #1

We were raised with the idea that we had limitless chances and we got very shocked to learn that wasn’t the case Picture Quote #1

Someone once asked me why people sing. I answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. They sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. Perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. They sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. They sing to help themselves execute a job of work. They sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in Picture Quote #1

The dream world of sleep and the dream world of music are not far apart. I often catch glimpses of one as I pass through a door to the other, like encountering a neighbor in the hallway going into the apartment next to one’s own. In the recording studio, I would often lie down to nap and wake up with harmony parts fully formed in my mind, ready to be recorded. I think of music as dreaming in sound Picture Quote #1

Everybody has their own level of doing their music... Mine just happened to resonate over the years, in one way and another, with a significant enough number of people so that I could do it professionally Picture Quote #1

Even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing underneath the same bright star Picture Quote #1

The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance Picture Quote #1

The relentless touring and endless repetition of the same songs over and over again promoted a creeping awareness that my music had begun to sound like my washing machine Picture Quote #1

I feel sorry for a culture that depends too much on delegating its musical expression to professionals. It is fine to have heroes, but we should do our own singing first, even if it is never heard beyond the shower curtain Picture Quote #1

When the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky Picture Quote #1

Life’s full of loss, who knows the cost, living in the memory of the love that never was Picture Quote #1

Being a celebrity made me so uncomfortable that I would have preferred standing behind the amplifiers Picture Quote #1

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone’s thinking of me and loving me tonight Picture Quote #1
