Traveling is a bit of a push sometimes. When you're doing a lot of miles and you're doing a lot of shows, it does get wearing.

Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul.

Walking through the Capitol Building gives you a sense of how it all began here. It was reassuring to see how restrained it was. It was very humble in a way.

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.

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.

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.

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