I don't have to compete in the charts. I can just be myself as a musician, a songwriter and play with the musicians that I really love.

Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.

I became successful and within five years conquered the world and had the most amazing run. I had so much momentum and adrenaline going, but then it ends and you have to find what level you're going to be on, how enthusiastic you're going to be.

I love people who expect me to wear great, feathery costumes- and I do it. It's like an actor getting into his costume for his part. I don't really feel that part until I'm into whatever I'm going to wear.

Don't be afraid to let her into your heart and when your down, don't try to carry the whole world on your shoulders.

I've always been a fan, so my enthusiasm has always been great, but it's never going to be the same as it was from 1970 to 1975. You cannot repeat that, but you can get inspired by searching, by being mystified.
