Quotes rooted in the first person.

Several speak to the solitary nature of creative work, something also explored in Life Quotes.

The Men at Work thing is always there, it's always going to be there. It's not something I consciously think that much about anymore. The thing that stays with you is the songs, which is a good thing for me, because the songs are the things that stand the test of time.
