Everything I do - if I do it, is going to be personal.

Well, it seems that one day Dylan was drivin' up to San Francisco from New Orleans or somewhere, when our record [House of the Rising Sun] came over his radio. When it was announced he said to Joan Baez -- who was with him at the time -- 'This'll be the first time I've heard this version', although it was number one in the States. So he listened to it, stopped the car, ran round the car five times, banged his head on the bumper and began leapin' about shouting 'It's great! It's great!'

Britain, and my hometown, will always be with me wherever I go and whatever I do - but I prefer to live in California.

Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.

In the day-to-day life of a traveling musician, it's easy to miss so many details. The world goes by at high-speed; it will take your breath away.

I may sing the same songs for over 40 years now but I always sing them in different ways in order to keep the excitement and passion alive.

I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.
