O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.

In the television age, the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.

Age does not matter if the matter does not age.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
