I went to a radio station on Long Island in 1982, and thank goodness for me, it was so new that there was no receptionist. So the DJ opened up his booth, and took my tape and listened to it and thought it was a hit song.

I could always write songs, act, get into politics, or stay home with the kids. But I've got to have some fun.

I took some important things with me from sports. Rock and roll is a team sport. You're only as good as your weakest link.

Find an independent woman-who loves you for you and will be your best friend. I got it right the first time and was very, very lucky.

I pray every day, several times. It soothes me. I don't ask for anything, except for health.

I'm not a big disco guy.

For years, I've had a hankering for the portrait of Benjamin Franklin by Joseph Duplessis. Franklin is credited with so many inventions: the postal system, lightning rods, the constitution. He was a rock star before there was such a thing.
