Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.

I'm doing exactly what I want to do, and I'm having fun doing it.

A lot of stuff I do, 10 years later it becomes popular.

The world today is the same as it always was but people know more about what's going on in the world than they used to.

When you're a kid, you have this feeling like you're indestructible. Your mortality doesn't even occur to you. But as time goes by, you realize, "I better cut this out or that out if I want to continue to exist."
