I guess that's why they call it the blues, time on my hands could be time spent with you.

I'm glad I've given up drugs and alcohol. It would be awful to be like Keith Richards. He's pathetic. It's like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go onstage and look young.

When I say I don't have to write pop songs anymore, there's no way I'm going to get on the radio at 60 years of age unless I'm doing a duet with [Lady] Gaga or I was on All of the Lights, which was a Kanye West record that managed to get on the radio.

I'm very relaxed. I'm very happy with my personal life.

I'm enjoying everything in my life, but I think the element of surprise in show business is what makes us really love it, because one day you're sitting by the phone waiting to do something or not doing anything, and the next day you've got the chance of a lifetime. Those little phone calls don't come up so often, but when they come up, it's fantastic.

I've always enjoyed and loved playing live. I relish and cherish it more than anything else because you never know what the performance is going to be.

There's a time for everyone, If they only learn, that the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.
