All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire

When you get older, it's not about what you did that you regret, it's what you didn't do.

Through your life, most people peel away the junk that's not useful, that's superfluous. You are determined to peel that away. I do one thing at a time. One man at a time. One car. One house. One child. One job.

When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies.

I don't like to be told what to do at all. That's unfortunate because a lot of people come up with good ideas and can direct you.

I find it amusing on one level, poignant on another, when people try to get recognition from an outside source. It's sad.

My parents were very open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success.
