My friends are Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, and we're singing about mortality, getting older. It's an interesting time.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

The world is ruled by butterflies adding to their weapon piles. Imagine what your taxes buy. We hardly ever try.

Money's only important when you don't have any.

Mr. Breschnev says we will bury you, I don't subscribe to that point of view. It seems like such an ignorant thing to do, if the Russians love their children, too.

My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party.

Intellectually I'm probably a Republican.
