I grew up with the smell of the lake and the feeling of the woods.

I had gotten one of the first Korg synthesizers with 300 presets.

The band's never taken a year off. Last August we decided to take one, and three months in I was bored to tears.

I quit my band in New York City in 1969 and I got really angry at them. I got angry at one of my guitar players and I dove over the drum set and we got into a fight.

It doesn't feel good when you're put down, and especially for no uncertain reason.

The secret to enlightenment is to lighten up. Whether you are talking rock or women, all there.

The fact that I'm still constantly smiling is a remarkable thing, but I love getting out on the road, meeting my fans. I love hearing them say wonderful things and I love being able to thank them in person for reading me.
