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.

I can never predict what's going to happen.

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

Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.

I met John Lennon and he was with his wife in Tokyo. I met him there.

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

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.
