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.

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.

Today, we're even into the whole sweat thing. They'll wear a [suit] jacket like this, but they'll wear it with sweat pants and sneakers. But I do think there is every generation - and it won't be as big as it was when you and I were those ages - but every generation all of a sudden experiences that they want to dress up.

Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.

I could say that 'Exile On Main Street' was my favourite or whatever, but I'm more about the songs and the artists and the sound that they bring.

People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.

I don't really wanna talk about politics, I'm not clever enough.
