I'm not anxious to be anywhere other than where I am right now.

It's human nature to be curious about people, and to be more curious about young people than old people. We want to cheer something on at the same time we want to tear it down. That's just so normal.

There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.

You have to treat people gently because we're all in a process. What might seem like a good idea to somebody at 21 is probably not going to seem like a good idea at 50, but you don't know that until you get there.

I know how it feels to go into a studio to start a record, and eight weeks later it's finished. I know how an intense schedule feels.

Since I travel so much, it's always great to be home. There's nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning.

How we absorb music is unique. I know what I do. When I'm listening to music, I tend to find myself in a song. That's what really makes you connect is if you feel what that song is saying.
