It's easy to get on to something like alcohol or drugs so my advice to musicians is don't lose your perspective because you will waste time in terms of years.

The shackles and the chains, the violence and aggression, the pettiness and scorn, the jealousy and hatred, the tempest and discord.

I've been sober for so many years. It wasn't like you flick a switch, and you're sober. It takes a while. You have to learn how to do everything all over again. You can measure how long that takes in terms of years.

I'm making records, my fans they can't wait. They write me letters, tell me I'm great.

Every Saturday we work in the yard, pick up the dog doo, hope that it's hard.

I can't complain, but sometimes I still do.

Now I'm running against a woman who, my God, that's all she talks about. Our true heroes, it's the last thing in the world they talk about.
