In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.
Artists - musicians, painters, writers, poets - always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life.
Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.
I don't know why people thought I was retiring.
I really wish I was less of a thinking man and more of a fool not afraid of rejection.
