Every place is determined by the characters who are there.

Possibly the whole creative whirlwind of any musician's life is based on garnering and developing and absorbing more and more experience.

You have to ask these questions: who pays the piper, and what is valuable in this life?

It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.

I know that bands that haven't put out a record for 10 years are playing to 20,000 people a night. But that's not the achievement.
