As you get older, you either become proactive about staying in shape and taking care of yourself, or, you know, time has its effect on you.
'The Warmth of the Sun' was a very beautiful song that Brian and I wrote in the time period associated with President Kennedy's assassination. We didn't write words about that, but it was around that time we recorded that song, and there's a lot of e...
I think a lot of it is that we used to tour so much that we never really had time to write songs.
I just feel like there hasn't been enough time away from all this other stuff and into this new world or sort of big world that it hasn't worn off yet.
People see me as someone who doesn't take any crap from anyone - which I don't - but it's my shtick, and I obviously don't act like that all the time.
I carry around, like, a little journal with me and just write all the time. Not necessarily, like, actually sitting down and writing lyrics - just freeform writing, whatever's going on in my mind. I write a lot on airplanes, actually, because it's co...
I've gone skydiving twice. I was terrified about doing it, but I wanted to overcome that. The first time, I did it with my parents and I remember that they had already both jumped out, and suddenly it was my turn. And I thought, 'Well, I don't want t...

I had to wait for a long time before I could support myself with writing. However, being a writer is what I have most wanted to be, from the time I was a child.

Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
I was born at St. John's, where they lived for a short time.
Some of the priests from the Seminary were in the nunnery every day and night, and often several at a time.
In my youth, I spent my time investigating insects.
America puts killers on the cover of 'TIME' magazine, giving them as much notoriety as our favorite movie stars.
The first time I performed musically, I threw up.
Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night's date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn't think of looking at another woman.
For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.
