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.”

Words can be very powerful. I find them very difficult.

But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.

It must be quite difficult if you have a father who's sort of known. On the other hand, you can get a job in his band.

Sometimes you're quite fortunate, being on the stage, getting to meet people like Salvador Dali.

I don't think I've ever played the Olympia before, but I'm not totally sure.

I very rarely play the piano at home. Deliberately, so that when I do play it, I love it.
