Bruce Cockburn
"The second half of the '60s really was a kind of learning period, in terms of writing, for me.“
"I woke up one morning with this song in my head, and the opening line of the song is, 'My name was Richard Nixon, only now I'm a girl.'“
"I'd always loved poetry and I'd always loved writing music and composing music, but I hadn't thought of putting the two together until around that time.“
"I like to think that if it hadn't gone as well as it has, if I wasn't able to make a living off of playing music, I would still be playing the music. But, of course, I wouldn't likely have had the opportunity to travel, and a lot of the places have inspired songs.“
