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.
You have to leave room for the other person's ego.
That undercurrent of the forbidden was always a part of rock.
I don't think that the punk sound really became the punk sound until much later. The punk era wasn't really just one musical sound. There are a lot of differences among Television, the Ramones, and the Talking Heads.
Christina Aguilera is an incredible musician and singer.
Rock and roll is a misconception. It should no longer be a term for music.
In music the mystical element is definitely there all the time, and one can see it.
I guess people assume I have some sort of totally magical life, but I'm a working musician, fortunately. I've worked on my craft, and I'm very fortunate I've been able to survive in a very competitive industry and enjoy my success. It's not easy.
Music has its own emotional embodiment. It carries an emotion with it.

It's amazing to me to see how bands evolve and how they take all their influences and come up with their own sound.
