I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity... to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.

Every love song I write is for Linda.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?

My thing is about following the accidental, more than trying to paint an accurate bowl of apples. I enjoy most following the paint. It leads me somewhere else. I think I enjoy just letting the magic unfold and letting the spirit of the paint tell me where we're going.

Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.

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

I still believe that love is all you need. I don't know a better message than that.
