If this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry, say live and let die.

I've got a few guitars that I like. The trouble with fame and riches is that you have more than one guitar.

When I sit down to write a song, it's a kind of improvisation, but I formalize it a bit to get it into the studio, and when I step up to a microphone, I have a vague idea of what I'm about to do.

The interesting thing about the Beatles was: The music was one thing, but we kind of symbolized a certain kind of freedom at a time when people of our generation were just growing up and just becoming adults.

My record producer [David Kahne] said the major record labels these days are like dinosaurs sitting around discussing the asteroid. They know it's going to hit. They don't know when, they don't know where it's coming from. But it's sort of hit already. With iTunes, and all of that.

I feel that if I said anything about John, I would have to sit here for five days and say it all. Or I don't want to say anything.

I think globally and act locally.
