I'm glad that I still have the ability to tour in Europe. I do love it.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you gotta do is call, and I'll be there, 'cause you've got a friend.

Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I love you, yes I do.

I think it surprises a lot of people that I'm still around, you know, still - that I'm not pushing up daisies, as they say.

In the old days gigging was everything. The whole of life was about gigs. Everything was about waiting for the gig and then doing the gig and going nuts and then afterwards the party and all the stuff that goes with it. And then that party continues through your twenties and thirties. I'm now 51, and it's still very much in my blood, but I'm really hard pushed... the gig is the party for me now.

Certain things in life are more important than the usual crap that everyone strives for.

I think good music makes you feel free, and if people feel free when they come to a show or listen to my music, that would mean the world to me.
