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

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.

I'm not one of these people who sits down and writes to say I'm gonna write a song about this or that, or a specific subject. The songs actually kind of write themselves.

I was with a folk trio back in '63 and '64, and we traveled all across North Africa, Israel, and Europe.

Ш'm not cybernaut, this stuff's so foreign to me.

I liked back in the sixties where you'd turn on the radio and go 'Oh that's Hendrix, that's Creedence Clearwater, that's The Doors, there's The Grass Roots, The Monkees, there's Big Brother.' You could just instantly hear it and tell. But in the eighties and nineties there's no way you could do that.
