Being free is a state of mind.

I'm not one of those artists who refuses to play their hits. I find that ridiculous. Hits are a blessing.

People don't realize it, but no one lives that rock and roll life 24-7. They think it's hundreds of bottles of champagne flowing and private jets and money. But there's a lot of time when you're traveling - time to think, time to be lonely. Sometimes it gets to you.

When I hear music, it's visual; I see things.

I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.

I fell in love with Paris the first time I went.

If you heard my records and no one told you, I don't think you'd know whether it's a band or one guy.
