I've only been making records since 1991. When you look at the long-standing careers of people like Joni, it's not very long!
It was the first time ever I heard 16,000 people sing in unison.
Some people are really good at maneuvering their careers and images and I'm not one of those people.
A lot of people seem to get preoccupied with what I'm wearing as opposed to the music.
I can always tell when people have had plastic surgery.
I have a philosophy that everything you write doesn't have to be good for everybody. There are going to be people that get irritated by some of the things I write-including my parents. And then there are going to be people that you draw in because of the pointedness of certain things.
I didn't get into making music for the fame aspect. There are people who do desire that.
I thrive on being on the road, waking up in a different place every day and having my life revolve around music. When you walk out in front of 300,000 people and pull it off, it validates you.
Making miracles is hard work, most people give up before they happen.
I find a lot of joy just going out and playing for people.
I snore. I've had two or three people complain about it.
When I reach the point that I write Yesterday, then I can retire.
It was a challenge in more than one way. Not only was I not working, I was in a foreign country where I didn't speak the language, and I'm with somebody who's new to me, and I experienced a lot of vulnerability ... (it) was a challenge to my ego, and in the end, was kind of exciting.
There's so much of it you can't control. There is no handbook for how to conduct yourself in the public world.
