I was a student at Columbia College, actually, in the Architecture school. Paul would drive in from Queens, showing me these new songs. I can't remember us working it out.
It is not possible to overstate the influence of Paul Cezanne on twentieth-century art. He's the modern Giotto, someone who shattered one kind of picture-making and invented a new one that the world followed.
I'm a pretty happy camper. Look a little more like Paul Newman, maybe. Haha.
My favourite restaurant is the Thai Corner Cafe on St Paul's Road. We go there all the time. I shouldn't really mention it - I don't want it to be chock-a-block.
Truth be told, except for foreign policy, Ron Paul's voting record and mine are virtually identical and I wear it as a badge of honor.
When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.
Slowly the poison the whole blood stream fills. It is not the effort nor the failure tires. The waste remains, the waste remains and kills.
None of the longest-lived people ran marathons or pumped iron. They live exactly as their grandparents before them - surrounded by family and friends.
One of my favorite things I read was John Steinbeck's journals while he was writing 'East of Eden,' which was so cool.
When I'm 40 and nobody wants to see me in a sparkly dress anymore, I'll be like: 'Cool, I'll just go in the studio and write songs for kids.'
You don't have to be a certain thing to be cool. If you're white, you don't have to act black or whatever. Just be you and know who you are.
The poor don't live in functional market economies as the rest of us do, but in political economies where corruption and broken systems extend from local government to moneylenders.
I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.
My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.
My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'
I've learned a lot of tricks from working with a lot of great producers over the years, and I think I should write a book about it!
It's always great playing with other musicians. It's also a great situation where I'm the older guy, I've influenced generations of guitar players.
Bob Dylan is great. I've been compared to him a lot. I think when people see a person on stage with a guitar they just think, 'Bob Dylan!'
Reality TV finds talented people. There are no scripts. The editing is what it's all about. Great editing makes those shows.
It took me three weeks to write the 'Rhapsody in Blue.' I had always wanted to write something blue and Paul Whiteman inspired.
And, so I set my goals on astronaut because, as a military aviator, it was, I considered that to be about the peak of a flying career.
