My life came down to being a granny and watching a lot of television.

I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.

When I came to California, it was the mecca of the world. Every young person on the planet wanted to be here.

I thrive on change. That's probably why my chord changes are weird, because chords depict emotions. They'll be going along on one key and I'll drop off a cliff, and suddenly they will go into a whole other key signature. That will drive some people crazy, but that's how my life is.

I used to be monastic, almost. Now I'm like a Tibetan that has discovered hamburgers and television. I'm catching up on Americana.

The thing that gave me the most pain in life, psychologically, and it gave me tremendous pain psychologically, is man's disrespect for nature.
