I love baseball. I'll probably end up one of those old farts who go to spring training in Florida every year and drive from game to game all day.

I really believe that if I make records that are indispensable to my audience, they'll go out and spend money to buy them, even if they've already downloaded them. If they can afford it. If they can't, I'd rather they be able to download it than not get it at all.

I've been a serial husband, and I've done it badly every time.

Having a child at 55... that's optimism.

Maybe I'm not as big a star as Bruce Springsteen because I'm not as good. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I still have an audience of a certain size. I think it's one of the things I'm luckiest.

People can try to make me into anything they want, but I think they're really throwing around language but saying the same thing.

Part of it is, I think, just to let people know you've got a record out there and that you're still alive requires more work than it used to, because the traditional radio, bug chains of record stores, all of that, that doesn't exist anymore.
