In 1967 I entered Harvard as a freshman, confident - in the way that only 17-year-olds are - that I could change the world. My major was African Studies, and my plan was to travel to Tanzania, where President Julius Nyerere was creating a government based on democracy and socialism.

It's a lot harder to be clear-headed, but the good stuff is when you start realizing who's really you.

I'm the same on stage as I am off stage. A lot of people who I admire - Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne - are not that different either. You hope that if you met them that they'd be as nice and well-rounded as they appear.

I'll close my eyes, so I won't see, all of the love that you don't feel for me.

People come up to me all the time who saw Dad in 'Oklahoma!' or 'Pajama Game,' and they say they'll never forget it.

I'm happy to have been a positive influence.

I made my first album, and I guess it wasn't a fluke, because now I'm on my 16th.
