It's a wonderful life if you can find it.

I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.

There are times when I think I can sing it better, but usually I find that I can't.

The older I get, the more I feel those kinds of ghosts - especially the women in my life - moving out of the shadows a bit more and becoming more present in my life.

In getting older, I find myself becoming progressively more ineffectual in a lot of different ways, and part of that is down to no longer having the youthful feeling that what you're doing has any true impact.

I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.

Everybody tends to overplay live. That's just the nature of playing live. And that can be great, but it can also kill something that's special, and intimate, about a recorded version of a song. You find out very quickly which songs you can play, and which songs you do damage to by playing them live.
