“Sometimes there is a 36-piece orchestra going off in my stomach.”

If you start out looking at somebody, wondering whether he’s good or bad, I think you’re starting out in the wrong direction. I think we’re all good and we’re all bad.

I’m drinking doubles now that you’re running around single again.

If you want to make marijuana legal, you’ve got to stay straight long enough to f – vote.

A frozen river is not a dry one, it’s just a still river on the surface but is still moving, and so am my winter writing.

You will never find happiness until you stop looking for it.

Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.

My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down – but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let’s all have another round.

Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them.

I wanted to connect all people who are thinking about peace on Earth.

The fight to save family farms isn’t just about farmers. It’s about making sure that there is a safe and healthy food supply for all of us. It’s about jobs, from Main Street to Wall Street. It’s about a better America.

Be gentle with your words – you can’t take them back.

Sometimes there is a 36-piece orchestra going off in my stomach.

I like marijuana because it keeps me from killing people. And I think there are a lot of people out there who are just like me. The reason it’s not legal is because most people get up in the morning and get high, then forget to go out and vote for it.

When I’m driving the highway by myself is when I write best.

I live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday’s gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.

What has changed is that nothing has changed. That’s what has made me more unhappy than everything else.

There’s always haters, no matter what you’re doing – whether they’re complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it’s too different.

Boomerang’ is all about coming back from the hate and not listening to the hate. It really tells a message.

This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.

I’ve always wanted to smash a guitar over someone’s head. You just can’t do that with a piano.

I have a very lively and colourful show. It’s two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.

Just because a record has a groove don’t make it in the groove.

No one has been a greater advocate for the power of love in this world than I; both in my life and in my music.

The only truth is music.
