“I can't help it: when something strikes me, I write it down.”

“When I met Bob Dylan, I was definitely impressed. This guy had come from the American folk world, but he was very schooled in poetry, too. He'd studied the Beat poets, of course.

“If you don't have the dollars and cents, you'll not be able to accomplish anything.”
