I would start seeing, in just the sense I was saying now, the kind of record it was going to be and what the arrangement demands, and what my vocal part should be in the record. This was all emerging as the song was emerging.

I have the feeling that in a balanced life one should die penniless. The trick is dismantling.

Paul has more, I think, of a feel for the stage. Whereas I have it more for the notes themselves. I love record making and mixing, arranging, producing. That I love. I love to make beautiful things, but I don't like to perform.

After all these years, I'm finally into soccer. The World Cup is on, and my band is an international group - they're all around me, cheering in the hotel bars.

I teach well. I used to really like teaching a lot. I enjoyed it a lot and I was good at it.

Records have images. There are wet records and dry records. And big records.

If John Lennon is deported, I'm leaving too...with my musicians..and my marijuana.
