People who had empires, unfortunately, want them back eventually, somehow, someway.

I don't find the business easy. The moment you start talking about the business, you start sounding like someone in Spinal Tap.

I play music a lot but on my own mostly, so it was nice to be around other people. There was a certain sense a relief in the physical act of just playing and being with other musicians.

I find it hard to take rock groups very seriously or treat them with respect. There is something absurd about these gloomy young men getting together and banging away.

I was a latecomer to politics. Maybe I'm just very slow. I got to everything when everyone else had left.

On the whole, I tend not to listen to my peers.

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