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 still want to do what I want to do, but we also have to think about some sense of protecting the business that's out there as well.

I don't know if there's any formula. I'm not sure I believe in that, to be honest. I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to music. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn't, really.

Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.

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.

The Beatles changed the world. They certainly changed my world, and many, many other individuals as well.

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.
