Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!
Even from a listening end now, I'm still completely a fan of music.
There is a lot of work just in terms of traveling and logistics and people and gear and all that kind of stuff. But I never really have problems playing music. That never seems like work.
I suppose listening to a double album is kind of like going to the chiropractor. . . It's pretty good for you but you can't force it on anyone else.
The music industry is not what it used to be. Being in a good band is great, and I've been lucky to be in great bands. I've done solo stuff, and that's been great. I also produce rock bands and I do co-writes, where I write with different singers in bands and songwriters.
I'm happy doing different things. Being in a band is great, but being in a band can be difficult sometimes.
No, I've heard over the years that it's nice for them to see somebody who's like, you know, a well-known successful musician who's Asian. I've heard it from a few musicians, too.
In the present, every day is a miracle.
In the long run there is no more liberating, no more exhilarating experience than to determine one's position, state it bravely, and then act boldly.
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus!
To play today in London, next week in Madrid and the week after that in Warsaw is a bit better than playing Newark and Baltimore and Philadelphia. I've been doing that for 20 years.
