I love to see new talent, new people beginning. It's a wonderful thing, and one wonders where their journey will take them. Sometimes they ask me for advice but it's very difficult to advise people. Everyone has their own destiny really.

The greatest music is made for love, not for money.

I love touring in the United States. It's dramatically different wherever you go. North to south you're going from snow to palm trees.

I continue to write. It's just one of those things that I do. I'll have periods when I write and periods when I don't. But you don't want it to become a discipline really. If it becomes a discipline, it becomes a chore and that's no good.

There is no standing still because time is moving forward.

Philosophically, what I have learned is to thy own self be true. That is the biggest lesson of all. Relax; music is fun. To many people take it to seriously because of the money involved.

You want each city to be different, not just see the same shopping malls and stores wherever you go. That's not healthy.
