Personal differences, musical differences, business differences, but most of all because I have a better time with my family.

The best songs just come unasked for. You don't have to think about them. Summer is a good time for songs.

My mother is very emotional as well, but my dad is more of the guts of the family. He was the main preacher, so he kind of had this little Pentecostal flair, but they are born-again.

Piano playing is a dying art. I love the fact that I can be one guy with one instrument evoking an emotional and musical experience.

I think Mick [Jagger] got jealous. I was always very respectful about Mick and the Stones but he said a lot of tarty things about the Beatles, which I am hurt by. I'd like to just list what we did and what the Stones did two months after on every f***king album... he imitates us.

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
