I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.
I could be a housewife… I guess I’ve vacuumed a couple of times.
You always fall for the rascal or the guy who's got a little bit of the devil in him. You can't help it.
I really am a mystic. I don't know where I got it from.
Music is wonderful. Especially if there's some kind of content to it.
The only thing I really wanted to be was a beatnik, and look what happened: I ended up being in a band.
I've had some lovely extraordinary experiences on New Year's Eve.
Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.
If I were to do a foundation, it would be to promote solar energy. And I'm worried about drilling for oil. I think it is harming the earth, 'cos it drains the layer of oil under the surface, and that could be causing earthquakes. It's like we're giving the earth arthritis. I don't know if that sounds crazy.
We wanted to enjoy what we were doing and we had business things we had to straighten out and personnel problems and it sort of took a little time to do it.
And New Year's Eve is very, very important to me.
I take lots of vitamins, but I don't think that's what keeps us going.
I always work on New Year's Eve, no matter what.
I really, really like writing songs. Capote wrote every day. He said that's the only way, you have to sit down every day and do it...Something that's written out is okay, but it's not always a clear indication of what a person means.
