gratitude prayer
Yes, I like that word. "More" is a prayer to God, isn't it? Gratitude and plea, all in one.
feelings balance tricks
I have the feeling that in a balanced life one should die penniless. The trick is dismantling.
relationship past problem
You jump right over anything in the past, and you don't analyze problems.
song appreciation real
We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it's timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there's going to be a real appreciation.
scared being-scared
Everything worth doing starts with being scared.
greatness men vision
It seems to me that at 19 or 20, a young man is burning to be great at something. I was. You have a vision that's beyond the neighborhood. You want to make a mark while you're alive. You don't know exactly your future, but you want to be great at it. And greatness is an important word. And you dare not tell anybody how extreme and how burning are your visions, because you don't want anybody to mess with them
architecture freely half illusion imagination love natural pen pick quite realized run school sketch three towards
I did three and a half years in the architecture school with no real love or feel for it. After quite a while I realized I don't like to pick up a pen and freely sketch and let my imagination run towards structures. And if I don't have that natural desire, what am I doing here? How did I let this illusion go on so long?
weed marijuana leaving
If John Lennon is deported, I'm leaving too...with my musicians..and my marijuana.
radio stuff kind
I'm the kind of person who can hear that stuff. If you sing along to the radio and you're not going to sing unison with the melody, but find the harmony, I find that pretty easy to do.
kids nuts practice
We'd go to the fraternity house. It was a good place to practice. But we really wanted the kids to overhear us. And whoever heard us would go nuts over it.
new-york differences mind
New York, you got money on your mind. And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference, so here's to you New York.
fun joking-around certain
I like working solo and it was a lot of fun joking around with the audience, saying things. I'm only just learning how to do certain things.
soccer cheer years
After all these years, I'm finally into soccer. The World Cup is on, and my band is an international group - they're all around me, cheering in the hotel bars.
years shining mind
Never mind the transience of show business and popularity. When we hear Ray Charles, we go, 'That's a great singer.' You don't need a reporter or a writer to tell us. Good is good and it should shine through the years.
