Later in life, suddenly, if you're an outsider, it's something to be celebrated, I think, rather than getting on people's nerves.

In the '70s, you had to come up with an album every year whether you were ready or not.

I used to sort of take the phone off the hook, you know, put my feet up and watch the TV until it was all over.

The number of contemporary artists who appeal to me is infinitesimal.

I've always felt quite like an outsider. I don't really belong in the mainstream, and I quite like that.

I found myself in Zurich Airport. I'd done a TV show, oddly enough, with Mavis Staples. That's the way they do it in Switzerland. And I'd had a bit of a late night with members of her band. And I was - my flight was delayed. And I was sitting in the airport, and I just came up with the idea. And by the time, we landed at Heathrow, I'd pretty much sort of got it.

What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?
