The sharpest memory of our old-fashioned Christmas eve is my mother's hand making sure I was settled in bed.

My own image of my work is that I no sooner settle into something than a break occurs. These breaks are always painful and depressing but despite them I see that there's a consistency that holds out but is hard to define.

I like to help women help themselves as that is in my opinion the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to and I don't think any one will deny us.

I probably wouldn't be a songwriter if I didn't grow up the way I did. It was difficult and it was at times very scary to grow up in a household so unsettled and at times very violent. But it also I guess it earned me a sort of wisdom at a young age that's served me well.

The shock of any trauma I think changes your life. It's more acute in the beginning and after a little time you settle back to what you were. However it leaves an indelible mark on your psyche.

I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.

Sudden success in golf is like the sudden acquisition of wealth. It is apt to unsettle and deteriorate the character.
