Come into my life, here where nothing matters. Come into my life, roll away the gloom.

Life is life. You do a lot of different things and you have great adventures but there's not a lot to talk about unless you're in the middle of an adventure at the time. 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 don't see what the point is in growing up.

The kind of vocal exaggeration that I developed was based on what key songs were in.

Six months go by very quickly when you're a genius.

I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.
