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

I always try to give my songs as gifts.
Dan Fogelberg

I choose to express myself.
Dan Fogelberg

I had gone full-on folkie; I'd had it with bands.
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.
Dan Fogelberg

I love home. I'll stay up there for days on end, I won't even go down the driveway to look for the mail.
Dan Fogelberg

I love the subtlety and tonal range of the acoustic guitar.
Dan Fogelberg

I love to laugh, it's my main thing. I love to abuse the English language.
Dan Fogelberg

I love to rock 'n roll. But my finest suit, of all the things I do, is as a songwriter.
Dan Fogelberg

I may quit the music business someday, but never the music.
Dan Fogelberg


I never going to satisfy everybody, so I decided to satisfy myself.
Dan Fogelberg

I wanted to pay tribute to my musical influences: Buffalo Springfield, Lightfoot, the Beatles, the Hollies.

I was blessed with a gift. It's a gift and a curse. It never ends.
Dan Fogelberg

I wish I was a little more gregarious and outgoing.
Dan Fogelberg

It seems like bluegrass people have more great stories to tell than other musicians.
Dan Fogelberg

It was quite a shot in the head to do the album and then have it shot down by nonmusical idiots.
Dan Fogelberg

It was so much fun playing simple American bluegrass. I got to meet Doc Watson.
Dan Fogelberg

MTV didn't call. I guess I wasn't hip and groovy enough.
Dan Fogelberg

My dad was vehemently opposed to electric guitars. He did not look on that kind of music as legitimate in any way.
Dan Fogelberg

My grandfather gave me my first guitar, an old acoustic with palm trees and dancing girls painted on it.
