Nobody's irreplaceable, including me. I think for too long we've had a cult of personality in this company and in this industry, and frankly, I'd like to see that diminish.
I see myself as a private-equity investor that helps rebuild companies. Restructuring is a cottage industry in that there aren't that many serious practitioners.

Clinton has played a major role in giving companies like Cipla credibility, for which I will always be grateful.
I can assure you that I have never used my media companies for propaganda, and I will never do so.

That was the nature of history, of course: notional, partial, unknowable, a record made by the victors.
Anyone who writes an autobiographical work at the age of 34 is, at best, presumptuous. It occurred to me that it was time to set the record straight.
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.

Putting out the things that I like best hasn't been the easiest way to run a label, and it still isn't because it requires finding an audience for each record.
So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn't recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.
When we were making Speaking in Tongues and Remain in Light, we were jamming. From that we were taking the best bits and then recording and improvising on top of those.
A lot of people think that I grew up in recording studios and knew the whole process, but that was never the case.
The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter... and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record.
