I love any opportunity I have to make music.

The public needs to know - they need to know as much about atrial fibrillation as they do about cancer and diabetes.

My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that's actually happening.

The dark night of the soul for me was one night in Florida, when I had been on the road for about four years and I realized that everybody around me was on my payroll, that my old friends hadn't been in touch with me and my family didn't know where to get me. I was a very unhappy guy and it was because I was really alone.

What we hear now is great-sounding records with great-sounding grooves and loops. And the sound of these records is irresistible, but the craft of songwriting is just about over. That's why, whenever I get an opportunity to do an album full of standards, I jump at it because I miss it.

My hair was slicked down with a part. But that was before I discovered the blow-dryer. Now I'm fabulous.

I was the Justin Bieber of the '70s. Really, I was.
