After six or seven performances of any song, you begin to perform it rather than feel it.

Teach your children well, so they don't live in off-campus group houses and throw loud parties while I'm trying to sleep.

We can't forget what happened on May 4th, 1970, when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.

I find it somewhat difficult to write with other people, although it has happened occasionally.

Just with the basic one guitar, one piano and one vocal and an audience, I think that the intimacy comes through more. People feel much more connected to the song because there's nothing in the way, and I actually enjoy doing that.

The Hollies, after I left in 1968, had the audacity, the gall, to have three number one records after I left. Thanks a lot, guys.

I'm curious about life, period.
