I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.
Songwriting is kind of like a craft. It's not something that just comes in a dream. You've got to work at it.
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
A dream will always triumph over reality, once it is given the chance.
The dream factory of that time was much simpler. As media outlets grew, everything became so complicated.

Well, they're Southern people, and if they know you are working at home they think nothing of walking right in for coffee. But they wouldn't dream of interrupting you at golf.
It may be those who do most, dream most.
I'd forget the piece just before I went out to do the concerto, the panic was too great. This was not anything that gave me pleasure. This was fulfilling somebody else's dream.

If you dream of something worth doing and then simply go to work on it and don't think anything of personalities, or emotional conflicts, or of money, or of family distractions; it is amazing how quickly you get through those 5,000 steps.
I am blessed for what I have, but I believed in it from the beginning. Today, the dream is the same: I still want to travel, I still want to entertain, and I most certainly still want to have fun.
Inside every adult there's still a child that lingers. We're happiness merchants - giving people the opportunity to dream like children.
