I am a pretty crazy person, so it's best for me to be on my own most of the time.

I'm most in my element on tour, with a gig that day, like today. I'm on the road where I am supposed to be. I will be where I'm supposed to be at nighttime, on stage, in front of people, doing my thing.

I get a lot of shit because I put "I" in the lyrics all the time. The "I" is always for someone else... When I say "I," it's so that when that person is singing along with the song, it empowers them.

I'm mellower now, I'm over 50. But I don't think I'm too mellow. I'm still angry at a lot of things.

I don't wish to be anything more or less than what I am. If this is how it is, then so be it.

I would like go to Palestine and interview people there about what their lives are like; same thing in Iran.

Musicians should not play music. Music should play musicians.
