I came up in a time when Springsteen, the Stones, Dylan, and the Beatles were still dominant. For every magazine cover with a new band, there were five covers with one of those guys.

It's really hard for me to commit, one way or the other. I was just always creating and seeing what came out.

It wasn't like he was there, saying 'Hey guys,' ... He was running up and hugging people. He came running up to me and jumped on me and grabbed me. He was ecstatic that he could see his fellow teammates win.

He was unbelievable. He came in and just shut them down.

I came down here to visit the area.... I saw all the building going on, and I knew it was popping off. What we have enhances the loft home, though people have come from everywhere to visit. But we fit in here.

I hear a lot of bad TV commercials that try to sound like Where It's At. That pretty much turned me off from using the electric piano for a lot of years.

Every time you go in, it's like starting over. You don't know how you did the other records. You're learning all over. It's some weird musician amnesia, or maybe the road wipes it out.

I have heard some stuff that might be influenced by my records, but it's usually pretty wacky and off-the-wall, which is kind of annoying, to be frank.

You can't meditate on walking or certain human habits. You concentrate too much on the way you walk, and you'll start walking pretty weird.

There's never any pressure on the music having to be something.

I didn't go to high school. I never felt connected to people my age.
elitist performing related
The cliche of what a rock star is - there's something elitist about it. I never related to that. I'm an entertainer. I think of it as, you're performing for people. It's not a self-glorification thing.
bad entire gave hit license people publishers rapping sampling songs taking
There are a lot of people who really abused sampling and gave it a bad name, by just taking people's entire hit songs and rapping over them. It gave publishers license to get a little greedy.
among coming full malls pay toilets tonight
Tonight the city is full of morgues, and all the toilets are overflowing. There's shopping malls coming out of the walls, as we walk out among the manure. That's why I pay no mind.
