I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.

In my old age, my mind gets more open, and I listen to so many different types of music and I guess that all reflects in my work.

Young people can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well. They don't feel the need to own it. They certainly don't feel the need to pay for it. I'd have to save up for weeks to buy an album when I was a kid, and that made it even more great for me when I finally got that thing in my hand.

I'd like to think I've left something in the world. Without in any way trying to be morbid, but life is very short, and I'd like to think I'd leave some body of work that would inspire other musicians long after I've gone.

I saw an interview with Keith Richards. He said, 'How else could a kid in Dartford suddenly connect with and understand what Muddy Waters is singing?' There's a cultural difference, but there's just something in that music that subconsciously or internally you just understand; it just makes sense.

There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them.

It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus.
