I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more, just hoping for an occasional inspiration.

Acting is a specific discipline. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you have the sensitivities of being an actor.

There's a mystery to writing, and you don't really know where most of it comes from.

When I first started, I worked with three chords in every bar, but I found that tied me down - I'm not a chord-change writer, I'm a songwriter.

As I said before, stones to me is meant things that hurt people, things that cause pain and thats what this song is about.

I definitely don't feel like I'm 71. I feel like I did when I was - between 30 and 40. The body ages. The mind doesn't.

I think I need to be married. Having a wife and family makes some sense out of all that I do, because I can't make any sense out of 20,000 adoring fans watching me for two hours.
