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.

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

I can never predict what's going to happen.

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

Why should I spoil my mood by wearing an ugly suit?

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