It can never be again! Everyone always talks about a good thing coming to an end, as if life was over. But I'll be 40 when this interview comes out. Paul is 38. Elton John, Bob Dylan - we're all relatively young people. The game isn't over yet. Everyone talks in terms of the last record or the last Beatle concert - but, God willing, there are another 40 years of productivity to go.

My goal in life is to unite my avocation with my vocation, As my two eyes make one in sight.

When work becomes play, and play becomes your work, your life unfolds.

In the end, everything is a gag.

Don't make your career be your life. Let it be your passion. Let it bring you pleasure. But don't let it become your identity. You are so much more valuable than that.

If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week.
