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.

When I stopped touring in the early '80s for a few years, it was a mistake looking back. I lost touch with my audience in a way and I think that was a bad career move.

As you get older, you get a bit more serious.

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

In New York, you couldn't wish for a nicer audience, or in L.A., Chicago, Boston. But when you get into secondary markets, they don't have a clue.

I tour a lot, sometimes like a hundred shows a year.

You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?
