I always do get a little bit paranoid when I get a lot of attention. But I get used to it.

I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there's a lot to be said for that way of thinking.

I've never written one note or word of music simply because I think it will make money.

I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.

I like the piano - I'm always about 15 feet away from a piano.

The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Phil Spector. Those were my idols.

I'm doing good. I've had a slight nervous breakdown in the '60s. I got through that. And I got through the '70s. And I was in a doctor's program during the '80s and then I met Melinda and we've been together ever since. I've got a happy life.
