I'm kind of like the Lone Ranger or Batman. I can just go to my mansion and jump out in my uniform and sing on weekends.

John Prine

It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

I exist in the depths of solitude pondering my true goal. Trying to find peace of mind and still preserve my soul.

Although I am a gregarious person, I love solitude even more.

I've been called a recluse. There's definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.
