Women! I have no idea. I don't know anything about women at all. They're a complete mystery to me.

I can never predict what's going to happen.

While it's a great indulgence, it's also very interesting to have three bass players on the same track.

I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the Dylan song “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall.”

I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.

I don't really have a great deal of spare time. I still have a house in the country, but I'm in London 90 percent of the time.

You become acutely aware, if you're touring a lot, that you need new songs to invigorate the live show. And make it interesting for yourself, too.
