Live Aid was a baby Woodstock, a child of Woodstock, which I call Globalstock.

Richie is the only one of my nine who's really moved away. I can't get rid of most of them.

I don't get sick. I can't afford to get sick.

Woodstock happened in August 1969, long before the Internet and mobile phones made it possible to communicate instantly with anyone, anywhere. It was a time when we werent able to witness world events or the horrors of war live on 24-hour news channels.

I saw the Village as a place you could escape to, to express yourself. When I first went there, I wrote and performed poetry. Then I drew portraits for a couple of years. It took a while before I thought about picking up a guitar.

My right wrist is connected to the left foot. You know, if the left foot doesn't work, the right wrist doesn't work, and that's really the truth.

I believe I inherited my sense of music from my father. My father was an ear piano player; he could just hear something and play it.
