Another Elvis will not come along. He got wasted, but it's alright.

I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it

I’m not all about money, but, like most musicians, I am about survival.

My personal feeling is that human beings have this incredible capacity for denial.

Things fall apart, it's scientific.

I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.

A lot of people, musically anyway, have realized that they can do it, and there's an audience for it at least in their own country, and often thought a lot of countries have a diaspora that breaks out all over the place, so they have a pretty wide audience.
