I do love to walk around in New York because people will notice me, smile, but they never bother anyone. New Yorkers are very cool. I love New York.

I love Westerns and I remember as a kid climbing up on the couch and make it into a saddle and shoot guns and fall off. I would lay there after my death and my mom would tell me to eat lunch and I'd say, 'I'm still dead, Mom!' I was Method, even then.

I don't want to take myself too seriously. That's my lesson to myself.

The Taliban is the worst...great heroin though.

I lived in London in 1965 and 1972. I love it there and I'm always very creative in that vibe. Would love to live for awhile in Scotland/Ireland and Britain. Great appreciation there for the folk scene and song crafting.

I keep busy. That was my nickname in college, 'Iron to the Fire.' I like to keep several things going at once.

I don't sit down to write a song, per se.
