“Making an album is a long process, but it’s a fun process.”

From day one when you’re singing, you’re dreaming about making that first album and making your break into whatever music you want to break into.

My son is racing his first 24-hour this year with Porsche.

I’m narrating the television series Biography. I’m still involved in my music – I have a new album out. I have an animated project in development. I’m writing a lot of things and you never know if one of them is going to become a six or seven year project.

I’d done three solo albums in a row, and that’s quite narcissistic.

I never liked making albums.

Someone told me once that Lucinda Williams takes six years between albums, and that’s what stuck to me; it’s like, you really are a factory. You don’t do things to make them, on your own time.

The worst thing about me is that I’ll buy albums and put them away on the shelf and forget that I’ve got them.

Using what you have always enhances what’s to come no matter if it’s an album, song, artwork or whatever.

You never know when you put out an album that’s unique whether it’ll get beat up for it or not.

For a Jewish guy, I’ve recorded a lot of Christmas albums.
