I lost my voice. I'd never had to cancel a show before and I had to walk around with a pad and a pen, writing things down.

I never look forward, because I have no idea about how any of it happened to getting here. I've no idea how the next five years are going to be.

I didn't earn that much in record royalties. You've only got to look at my sales in 1980 to figure that one out.

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 look a lot busier than I am, as I'm actually a rather sporadic, random person and I'll play a few gigs and then disappear for a while.

I think [Transcendental Meditation] is what people need. They don't need high minded talk, they need results.

I don't think of myself as a legend. I just love what I do. I love playing with my band, I love going to beautiful places and give people good music. I love what I do, I`m very lucky man.
