People get so tired of the '60s.

I think storytelling is all about children. We human beings love to hear stories being told - and it first happens when you're a kid.

I think people are intolerant of artists.

You see Michelangelo and Picasso and you read literature. I had some innate inchoate yearning for that, but I never really saw where I would fit in. That's called art. And then something happened to pop music, which is that it became art under the hand of the Beatles, the Stones, and Bob Dylan and some other people.
