“I don't know why people are so surprised by my live performances. My approach is so simple; every song I sing, every story I tell, every move I make, must move the audience to laughter, tears or inspiration. Otherwise, why should I do it?”
John Davidson
“There's no insecurity about my song writing. I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.”
Johnny Cash
“I love when people get songs wrong. I love when people take something from a song that's totally not what I intended!”
Richard Marx
“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep.”
John Lennon
“All the lonely people, where do they all come from? / All the lonely people, where do they all belong?”
The Beatles
“I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.”
Bob Dylan
