I wasn't taking so many drugs that it was messing up my creative processes. It was a very good period, 1968 - there was a good feeling in the air. It was a very creative period for everyone.

I, personally, have a lot of energy, so I don't see it as an immediate problem.

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

The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone.

Quite often when I record a song, writing it and making a demo is the big thing and, after that, I think, how do I actually translate this into real life? A lot of the time I think I can't be bothered.

I don't believe in original melodies. There are only so many computations of eight notes.

People love talking about when they were young and heard Honky Tonk Women for the first time. It's quite a heavy load to carry on your shoulders, the memories of so many people.
