Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.

A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.

I love to make music and stay grounded.
