We stayed in some pretty shabby places in Europe.

We're all turkeys! Some of us are running around with our heads cut off, some of us are flapping our wings that hard we're close to flying. But nothing is an eagle bar God.

There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.

You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.

The world is in your hands, now use it.

I'll have the music, and then I'll just turn the microphone on, press Play and Record and sing. And whatever comes out ends up being the melody.

Why did I like simpler songs? Just times change. This is one of the repeated things I hear: even though people will read different kinds of books, they don't read Lord of the Rings when they're 30 even though they did at 15.
