I don't think enjoying life is an exclusive prerogative of young people.

People get very thoughtful when they are in cars. I no longer care for cars. I don't collect them.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

You've got to have fresh wardrobe. You can't just go out there looking like you did last time. That helps your transformation.

Rock 'n' roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don't want to do it all the time. It's like when you are young and you think if you are not having sex you're wasting your time. But as you get older you realise everything has its place. It's the same thing with performing.... Performing is a great thing to do but you don't want to have to be doing it every night.

All dancing is a replacement for sex.

I like to have a peek, see what the audience is doing during the opening act, because it gives you a clue and gives you a good feeling of where you are - the air can be different in different places.
