Around the time the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, I was already in a band.

Coming out of college with a degree in fine arts and painting isn't worth much any more.

I do what I believe in. I do good work, and the people who appreciate it, fine, and those who don't, fine, that's good.

I don't really pay enough attention to what other people are doing.

I fell in love with Nashville. I got lots of work.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I had gone full-on folkie; I'd had it with bands.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I had never done TV. I think it's a foolish medium for, most rock 'n roll music. Nobody ever comes off well on TV.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I hate the road so much. I almost go into a cocoon with my own people out there.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I have a very sedate life. How often do you see me at a bar in Boulder? I like Boulder. We just don't live that way.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I kinda threw the spotlight away from me for a little while.

|
I may quit the music business someday, but never the music.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I never going to satisfy everybody, so I decided to satisfy myself.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I put everything I can into a record. That's what art is for. I take a risk every time I do one with my whole being.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I wanted to pay tribute to my musical influences: Buffalo Springfield, Lightfoot, the Beatles, the Hollies.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I was blessed with a gift. It's a gift and a curse. It never ends.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I was playing in bands before high school even. My first band I was in at 14. And we were playing just Beatles.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I went to college as a theater major. But after about three weeks of that, I changed to the school of fine arts as a painter.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg

I wish I had more time to sit down and be a little bit more normal.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg

|
I'm a child of the woods. I have that sort of sensibility.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I'm affected by my environment. Los Angeles makes me defensive and wary.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I'm not 20 years old any more. I'm not gonna go out on quite the limb I did.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I'm not the quiet sensitive little guy I was. I can't be. There's just too much after me.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I've always got about four albums in my head.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I've been writing a lot of country music again. I've written some bluegrass material. I'm having a good time doing that.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
I've succeeded beyond what I ever thought I could.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
If people are willing to buy it and listen to it and they like it and enjoy it, then it's viable.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
If someone criticizes my child it's gonna hurt me a little bit, but it's my child, you know, and I love it regardless.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
It seems like bluegrass people have more great stories to tell than other musicians.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
It was either go on and work with a psychiatrist beside me or go home for a while.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
It was quite a shot in the head to do the album and then have it shot down by nonmusical idiots.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
It was so much fun playing simple American bluegrass. I got to meet Doc Watson.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
It's 24 hours a day, every minute of the day in one way or another. Eventually that's gonna wear you out.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
It's a very important issue to me, trying to wake people up to the fact that we'd better take better care of our planet.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
It's just the transitoriness of this business; I don't think people take it seriously enough.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
It's only an interim trip. I love the music, but it's really giving me a way in which I can comfortably explore my art.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
Life isn't all that sad. I'm a happy person.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
Longer is not my best song, it's just a classic love song, and every songwriter always dreams of writing a classic love song.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
MTV didn't call. I guess I wasn't hip and groovy enough.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
My dad was vehemently opposed to electric guitars. He did not look on that kind of music as legitimate in any way.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
My grandfather gave me my first guitar, an old acoustic with palm trees and dancing girls painted on it.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
My life is as an artist, not an entertainer. I don't consider myself an entertainer, but I can do that thing when I want to.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
My upbringing made me think that real legitimate music is written, not heard.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
Now is the only thing that exists.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
People who listen to my records expect the ballads from me. The rock 'n roll is on there because it's another mode of expression.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
Phoenix was a tougher record, a little more commercially accessible record.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
Strats are my favorite electric guitars, and I've got quite a collection.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
Tennessee helps me open up. I'm much more vulnerable there, more willing to talk about anything.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
The dogs, and home, privacy is my constant.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
The outlet for my sorrow, that I do feel deeply, and the pain, is the songs. That's where it goes.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
The people who come to me are the people who are meant to come to me.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
They get so much of me in that music. I don't feel I owe them anything else. I really don't. That's my privacy.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
This isn't supposed to be the most commercially accessible product in the world. None of my projects have ever been.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
To commit to a project this personal was pretty strange. It was a tough, tough project, but I'm very pleased with it.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
To get the whole picture of this record, you have to listen to side one to side four.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
When it goes to number 5 in the 3rd week, I couldn't really care what the critics say.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
You can't do this business and be Mr. Nice Guy all the time.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
You do get jaded when you do it for so many years.
Quotation of Dan Fogelberg
|
You're successful if you can get one person to pick it up and put it on the turntable and go, Wow, thanks for writing that!
