45 years is a long time to do anything, let alone for a rock band to play together. I'm proud of what we've accomplished and proud that we've kept the high standards.

You couldnt get a job playing in a club unless you played so much Top 40 and so many Beatles songs. I just went into a sort of revolt.

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.

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.'"
