I've never been burdened with a hit record, so I don't have to play the same songs. I play songs people think they like.

I'm 63. It's kind extraordinary that I'm out here at all and people want to see me.

If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.

Coming out's the hardest part, when you're Queen Elvis.

Most comedians I know are quite serious, anxious people who find life rather difficult. As a consequence, they make people laugh.

Generally, I have an instinct for the noncommercial. And the unpopular.

I was buying Bob Dylan mainly, everything I could get hold of by him.
