I'm not a soldier for anything, either. I'm only a singer and I don't think it makes a difference what we sing.

Even if you're specific about the character of the song, it's more exciting to place them, juxtapose them in such a way as to make an adventure out of the sequence of the songs.

What keeps me going is a constant sense of disappointment with what I've already done.

The United States is a country where everybody can start again.

Potentially, America is really the greatest, but it's not yet, I don't think. It's too much like an old-fashioned empire, waving the stick and dropping too many bombs on too many people.

People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?

There's no field of music which doesn't have good ideas.
