Asia's crowded and Europe's too old, Africa is far too hot and Canada's too cold. And South America stole our name, let's drop the big one.

What I'm most pleased about is that there's no particular decline. The songs I wrote 40 years ago are no worse and no better - there's a consistency.

I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and essentially destroying it!

I think the tax cut is ridiculous but so am I.

It takes a whole lot of medicine for me to pretend I am somebody else.

I started recording because I was always complaining about the records that I was getting of my songs. At least if I did them and messed them up, I wouldn't have anyone else to blame.

I don't remember ever having writer's block. If I sit in there for four hours, I'll usually have something.
