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

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.

When Paul and I were first friends, starting in the sixth grade and seventh grade, we would sing a little together and we would make up radio shows and become disc jockeys on our home wire recorder. And then came rock and roll.

By my 40s, I finally got out of my own way, so I could become a life creator; a life giver.

Everything worth doing starts with being scared.

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

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.
