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.

Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on.

It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.

I wanted to make a record that sounded like a continous piece

There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.

You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.

I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.
