It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Oh, give us the man who sings at his work.
There are two kinds of man: the ones who make history and the ones who endure it.
An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc.
That's all a man can hope for during his lifetime - to set an example - and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history.
Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons of history.
There's room in the world for one historical folk-rock singer to make a decent living, and I happen to be it.
I think Steve Jobs is a historic figure. He's not only a historic figure in business, but really in America.
There were no artists in Ossining, which was the home of Sing Sing prison. Most of the parents of the guys I knew were guards there.
That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.
Man, it seems to me, is not in history: he is history.
