"I was thrilled when my Italian in-laws got me this book for Xmas: it'd been on my to-read list for ages, and I took the gift as a little sign of how well they know and accept me, despite linguistic and cultural differences.

“And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.”
