I want to keep going as I have, to travel, read, perform, write, and enjoy my family. I've promised myself only this: no more Laundromats, no more two-shows-a-night, and no more deadlines. I'll work at my own pace.

If we couldn't laugh, we would all going to go insane.

Back to my childhood where those monsters reside. They snack on innocence and dine on self esteem.

I still believe in rock and roll, it pays my bills.

At 57, to have a No. 1 album, I wasn't expecting it.

I have always looked at life as a voyage, mostly wonderful, sometimes frightening. In my family and friends I have discovered treasure more valuable than gold.

There's a strange sense of pleasure being beat to hell by a storm when you're on a ship that is not going to sink.
