If you make money back from your record, you're doing it smart. It's an expensive hobby. I'm lucky enough to still make a living as a musician through live work and odd bits of royalties.

I'm good at line-drawing, and some of my color stuff is okay. So I just do it for record covers.

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

I would be quite happy never to play any of my better-known songs again. But unless you're Dylan, you can't afford to completely disregard what your audience wants.

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

Every so often you have to increase your profile so you can let it lower again, like a balloon.

I think The Beatles are the lasting influence on me, even more so than Dylan.
