I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.

Bob Dylan did the first really long record - Like A Rolling Stone - I think it was four minutes.

We are musicians, entertainers. We can do it. We have the right tools. No worries.

I want to age with some dignity.

I've learned a huge amount because I've been tested and, more importantly, I've been trusted.

A lot of my audience are in their 50s. But they want me to pretend to continue to be pretending.

All good art cannot help but confront denial on its way to truth.
