I like walking on the edge.

I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel.

My parents wanted me to be smart and be a scholar, and the best I could do was graduate high school.

Most of our stuff was trial and error. You live with a tape recorder, you turn it on, you play the song and you listen to it.

If things are going slow, I'm itchy.

I've had all the lessons I could get. I've learned from everybody I've ever met.

Those bad times are important. They give you a chance to practice, listen, take stock, have a life, get your feet back on the ground, and maybe you'll live to tell the story.
