I've made over 25 studio albums, and I think probably I've made two real stinkers in my time, and some not-bad albums, and some really good albums. I'm proud of what I've done. In fact it's been a good ride.
I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
Once I've written something it does tend to run away from me. I don't seem to have any part of it - it's no longer my piece of writing.
I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.
I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
