Hate was just a legend and war was never known. The people worked together and they lifted many stones.

I was just 20 years old when I wrote Broken Arrow.

I knew Fred since I was 14 and was first going to the Old Town School, Fred used to work part-time in the store. Every time I wrote a song Fred would turn on his really good high-class tape recorder, reel-to-reel, and record it. So he's got recordings of me on guitar singing all my songs in his apartment long before I ever recorded for a recording company. I never found out what happened to the tapes.

I think the best duets are those where there's a dialogue back and forth, and then the two singers go into a thing together.

Even when I was a mailman. That job required no great skill, so once you got it down, you had a lot of free time to daydream and make up songs.

Life is a journey that's measured not in miles or years but in experiences, and the route your life takes is built not of roads but of songs.
