I've had many years to consider what I would like to see about a particular place. I don't waste any time and I enjoy it.

Being good isn't just about being dextrous and being flash. Being good is about being an all-round contributor in the great world of music.

I listen to the crowds [laughs]... I like Blind Melon very much.

You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.

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.

Look, Salvador Dali did not paint because he needed the money. No conversation about materialism and music makes sense. You make music and that's that, it doesn't matter why.

When I was a kid, the world was such a big place, and I had no idea that I would be afforded these great moments in between doing what I love to do.
