Last time I saw you was backstage in Melbourne. You had just been through that thing with the guy and the rice.
Jon produced it. He did a very nice job, actually, ... Fly Me To The Moon.
Obviously, you're going to miss the school play. My daughter scored her first goal in soccer, which you know, if you miss that, it pulls at your heart strings. The upside is we have an extraordinary life.
God, it feels as if we're as big as we've ever been.
I know Mick Jagger wouldn’t tour without Keith Richards and call it the Rolling Stones.
We're a part of the fabric of people's lives at this point. As songwriters, but also as a band, we can stand up there and sing songs that (people remember) listening to the first time (they) made out in the car with somebody. It's a big privilege for us. When we walk out there and sing those songs, you see what's in the eyes of those people. We're singing about everybody.
We're a band of brothers. I think that people want to see people stay together. They want to be entertained by people that are staying together, and people that have camaraderie. We still like each other. That's pretty unbelievable after 22 years.
We're about the music. We know everything about each other. We're very close family members.
When you walk out in front of an audience of over 70,000 people, you've got to be on your game. They deserve it.
Throughout my career as a songwriter, I've had a knack for writing songs that were about me and my life experiences and observations.
