When you're little and you don't have much dough, you have to innovate. You have to be sharp.

I love capitalism. It rewards me for being brave - it awards me for being innovative and thinking out of the box.

I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records, not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys, and they seem really cool.

There's no retirement, there's just a few years of non-work by the fire with someone bringing you some tea and relative peace and playing with the grandchildren.

To see change in your own area code is very powerful. There's a little orphanage down the street from my company, and we donate $1 from the sale of each CD we sell to the orphanage.

I get tired of talking when I want to be silent.

I feel close to people like Jimi Hendrix because I connect with his music. Not the man but what he did.
