Once you get that two-way energy thing going, everyone benefits hugely.

I'm often surprised by classical music and musicians. I've met a large number of them because my wife works for the Boston Symphony, and I'm in that world a lot now. I'm surprised at how difficult it is for people who are classically trained to read music or to memorize music, how difficult it is for them to improvise, to just go off and play. It's sort of, it's like terra incognita. They just, (makes noise) they don't get it.

I believe musicians have a duty, a responsibility to reach out, to share your love or pain with others.

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

I don't find the songs; they find me. I just strum my guitar and wait for a lyric to come.

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.

You can bring your enemies to their knees with the possible exception of the North Vietnamese.
