Wasted Days and Wasted Nights, it's about days very wrongly invested in a love affair.

My sister and I were born in San Francisco. When our parents died, we came down here to live with relatives.

Whenever I run into prejudice. I smile and feel sorry for them, and I say to myself, There's one more argument for birth control.

I was separated from my wife at the time. A lot of people think I wrote it about prison.

Marriage is absolutely something that's important to me. It's the ultimate symbolic step in love.

Love means that everything is right with the world. Love and only love. Love means that you are content within your own heart and in the presence of the person that you love, who fills your day and makes you stronger and wiser, and gives you the confidence to go out into the world. Love is just the most beautiful, joyous feeling.

People on the edge of love go with their heart and not their head.

There are recurring elements in popularized fairy tales, such as absent parents, some sort of struggle, a transformation, and a marriage. If you look at a range of stories, you find many stories about marriage, sexual initiation, abandonment. The plots often revolve around what to me seem to be elemental fears and desires.
