Although they can do it all the time, you know, they're far better than me, on a musically, on a theoretical music level. You know, they're out of my league.

I figure I've probably got a better chance of coming up with a good Paul McCartney song than Oasis has.

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

The stores and the things like that, the business side of things came out at the point when, I'd say probably in the early '70s, it looked like the year of the singer-songwriter was over, 'cause music changed in our time and the spotlight was out.

I just like a good, sad song. The sadder, the better. It moves me.

I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.
