You can work on music a few lifetimes.

I have to make rock records occasionally.

I'm not going to be rockin' n' rollin' when I'm 50 years old. But you can be in your prime on television, compose songs, or write a Broadway play when you're 50.

The local music community here was dying for a place to record, so we started doing acoustic, folk and bluegrass and then did rock projects for other bands, as well as for my son Tal and my own work.

I think it's our job to write about what we're going through at the moment, and being 41, I'm not going to write about the same things I wrote about at 20. I don't think artists should be farmed out to pasture just because they're in rock n' roll.

I'm working on a proper rock record, a good, old-school rock record. Finally.

Nothing is written in stone. So don't prepare yourself for a long and lucrative career. You might die tomorrow. Your gold holdings might become dust. Just make the music you want to make now and enjoy it.

If I could do theater during the hiatus and then do '30 Rock' in the winter, that would be my ideal job.

I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.

A rock musician's career is short-lived. To extend it, you need to do other things to keep yourself fresh.
