I'm a happy guy.

I had always planned to be an actor, and the music was just in my DNA, it’s always been.

I wouldn’t really say I’m a jazz guy, which I’m not.

I still have auditions for independent films. I’ve been still working.

I was with a folk trio back in ’63 and ’64, and we traveled all across North Africa, Israel, and Europe.

I don’t sit down to write a song, per se.

Women in stores will pull their children away from me sometimes so they won’t catch the crazy Creed virus. Other folks are disappointed that I’m not that guy in person.

There’s not that many people from the sixties who have progressed as writers and are continuing on. They’re out there. But I’m one of them who’s just continued on, following his own little inner madness.

I’m an actor, I created the character myself originally. I do tell the fans I appreciate that they think he’s real. It all finally comes down to the writers who really got the character and wrote so many memorable lines.

I’m not one of these people who sits down and writes to say I’m gonna write a song about this or that, or a specific subject. The songs actually kind of write themselves.
