I Never Hid Out. I Was Never

I Was Quite A Reader Before I Became A Writer.

I Have My Own Religion. I'm Sort Of One-quarter Baptist, One-quarter Catholic, One-quarter Jewish.

I Don't Know Why Songwriters Struggle. They Have To, I Guess. If You're A Young Songwriter, Quit Struggling. It Makes You Look Bad.

If They Want To Come Out And Watch Me Paint Or Dig Potatoes Or Mend Fences, I Don't Care. I Don't Do Interviews Not Because I Have Anything To Hide, But When You Retire, The Word Has A Meaning To Me. It's A Place In Life, A Part Of The Journey. You Just Don't Quit Work. You Develop An Attitude Where You Can Do What You Please.

A Song Is A Poem Set To Music.
