I bemoan the fact that all my famous friends have places in St. Bart's and I have to go to Montauk.

I'll be honest, I worry sometimes about what I've done. I have tied my whole person to my art and, whatever it takes to get that hook, I will go there and do it.

I like to try new things.

I think I've done a pretty fantastic job, but of course I want to sell millions of records.

My parents were serious working musicians, but they were not stars - not like pop stars that you have now. They had to make a living and that meant touring, working hard, going on the road - and we were roped in.

I definitely have a Luddite's approach to what's going on. I find that as I get older, I get stupider.

In the music business, to survive for so long, you have to be able to cut off from your emotions sometimes. And being a father, you're faced with that situation. I know that my father was, with me. I understand why he had to be distant, because to rip yourself away, time after time, is almost more devastating.
