You've got to believe. Never be afraid to dream.

I spent 15 years on the road between touring and recording and I never saw anything. I want to enjoy life.

When I write a song it's always from the point of view: makes the song the best it can be.

I was going to be a doctor, but I think my music allowed me to help more people than I could have done one-on-one as a psychologist. Just like other people's music really helped me.

If the 70's freed our inhibitions, what good did it do?

When I was a teenager, I was fat. I was shy. I wore glasses. I had a big eyebrow and hair all over my body. They were years of torture.

Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.
