Yeah, like, when I look back on my life, I just remember back what happened in '74, or something. It seems like only the real good stuff comes to mind. I don't think of all the tragedies and all the funerals. That just doesn't come to mind at all. I guess I'm really blessed that way.

One of these days I will be an old man in a rocking chair on a porch. Wouldn't it be nice to have my whole life there to read and kind of re-live it.

In my line of business, there's no better feeling than having a real nice work that you're really satisfied with.

I was talking to Jackson Browne on the phone. He said, 'I'm the slowest writer in the world.' I said, 'No, no, no. You're the second slowest. It seems the older you get the slower they come. I wonder if it is like that for everybody?' He said, 'It ain't with Don Henley. He seems to be writing more than ever.'"

I left home the day after I graduated from high school because I knew we weren't going to make any dough to pay the rent in music.

When I got out of high school, I thought, I'll take a year or two off and play the clubs, get this out of my system, and then go to med school.

Clapton asked my brother to play on his record. I thought that was the most wonderful thing in the world.
