I don't look at a knife the way I used to. I'm more aware of what it is. I think twice. This is a key finger. It's in every chord.

Being sued by your own record company, that's even better than receiving a Grammy

I'm always open to new stuff. I don't sit and try to figure out what to do, I just wait for an idea to come.

We don't build a record. We're taking a picture of it. We're not building an image; we're capturing an image.

I live for playing live. All my records are live, since After the Gold Rush, with the exception of Trans and the vocals on Landing on Water.

Bad news is just an excuse.

There's an edge to real rock 'n' roll. It's all that matters.
