I can never predict what's going to happen.

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.

And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good; I like her.

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

I'd love to follow the Tour de France one day. It's a really exciting spectacle. I've only seen it once as it was coming into Paris and that was very exciting for me. I have memories of that.

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

But I do like to have peace and quiet for a good hour.
