When I sing, I try to live the song or live the emotion of the song. The space I'm in doesn't exist. It's another world.

I know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn't be here. I don't mean to put them down, but I'm just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.

I'm surrounded by good people. That's the measure of a good life. All the rest is flotsam.

Imagine if you could go watch Mozart today, even if it's the last, crappiest show he ever played. What a thrill that would be.

I'm realistic about my age and realistic about the fact that there's an awful lot less in front of me than there is behind me. I've always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

Rock n' roll seems to have changed society much more than any politician, I think it really has.
