Once you stop drinking and smoking and stuff, it really gets on your nerves, all that nonsense going on.

I think Bob Dylan's a good songwriter. I think he's the best songwriter in the world probably.

Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.

If you're purely derivative in what you do, then you could very easily get lost along the way. But for me, I might want to even do something else for a while.

I don't listen to music, and I don't particularly watch television, so if anyone wants to come over and just hang out with me sitting at the table in silence, you know, eating a dish of rice... I don't get too many takers.

I expect people to at least use some thought.

There's this celebrity thing that goes along with making records or being a rock star. I'm into this celebrity thing just enough to let me go on making records and making a living out of it.
