The very nature of limiting something from an infinite to moments in time creates distortion; analog recording methods create all kinds of distortion, they're just not digital distortion.

As I get older, I realize a lot of the things I could have done - things that I didn't think were so great at the time - actually would have been enjoyable.

Skepticism is only a time-based reality, and as an ultimate reality, it's always wrong, because everything always happens.

Musically, I just think in terms of what's next. There's a lot of things I've always dreamed of doing, and I hope I get to them before I get too deaf.

You wind up listening to one song that you really like 30 times on YouTube and then you're done with it. That's the way it is.

Most people just give up with time and go, "I'm a victim." The only reason I've got the reputation for delays and spending a long time on things is because I just don't stop.

I buy magazines. I'm not floating around in my own universe. I'm interested in everything.

A guest is really good or bad because of the host or hostess who makes being a guest an easy or a difficult task.

I was totally involved in Bobby's World from the time we started the idea to sitting with the artists on how he would look, to the script meetings, the music, the lyrics, the songs.

Every once a week, I get up and feel that I cannot act any more. I just get very unsure of myself. But, once I give my first shot, I'm back on track. Insecurity isn't bad, it makes me work harder.

Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.

Thanks to my father, I didn't have to face the tough side of life. Probably that's why I always chose love over money.
