I guess I stayed with the faith. I mean, organized religion is not something that I've maintained a direct connection to in my life, but the spirituality of it has had an indelible impact on my life and remains with me.

In retrospect I wrote things about my life and my family's existence, I realized that it was a frighteningly harsh way to make a living. And I used to say that they were slowly dying trying to make a living.

I quit eating red meat a long time ago. I'm a vegetarian, but not by a moral issue or any kind of stand. I still eat dairy. And I quit eating sugar about the same time I quit eating red meat, but I eat fruit.

I don't regret any of the musical decisions I have made.

I tried to pay some small tribute to A Man and a Woman (1966) with the recurring musical theme.

Music's the one thing I try not to analyze. I don't want to destroy the magic that has always been there for me.

Quality is timeless: It will clearly define itself.
