When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

When I was writing the song, I thought that these people have entire lives in there. They're not writers, but they all have stories to tell. Some are very, very down deeper than others.

I know where beauty lives, I've seen it once, I know the warmth she gives.

I want the good life, but I don't want an easy ride. What I want is to work for it, feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips.

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

[Unplugged] was also the cheapest to produce and required the least amount of preparation and work. But if you want to know what it actually cost me, go to Ripley and visit the grave of my son.
