I'm like one of those firecrackers that goes off in your pocket occasionally. I'm not really struggling with it as much as the people around me. But at least I'm not doing too much damage to anybody or to myself. It's just the condition I'm aware of.

All I can say is that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're young and foolish.

I think I surprise myself.

Circumspection is not one of my better, favorite conditions, really.

I'm just lucky because my kids are grown-up - I love them, very proud of them, and we are in close contact as big-time friends, but they don't need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.

I can find my way from 500 A.D. through to 1066 pretty well as an amateur historian.

I live with the people I've always lived with. I'm quite content.
