I'm all for a quiet life. I just didn't get one.

I occasionally borrow pot from my kids. They do a little weed occasionally. 'Here, Dad' — or more likely, 'Dad, have you got any?'

When you're 20, you can't imagine being 30. When you're 30, you can't imagine being 40. When you're 40, you can't imagine being 100.

To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.

Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.

I have no idea what the audience makes of me.

Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.
