Me and Don Henley are fast acquaintances now, or something. He actually got on stage and sang with me.

Mike Campbell and Don Henley and I wrote 'The Heart of the Matter,' which was a huge hit for Don.

I think it was probably down to the fact that we weren't together personally as a band. We weren't pulling in the same direction. I always feel if you're having a good time in the studio it actually comes across on the tape and that was a bit of a miserable album for us.

If you get a chance to be in a film, that's great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley's album, Building the Perfect Beast.

I never envisioned myself as a solo artist; I was always part of a band.

The band will be going along, and somebody or another will say, 'I want to go off and do a solo career.'... They come back, and other people come in.

I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.

Obviously any band, any group, someday is not going to be together anymore. That's the truth.

I've always looked on myself as one of a band and never sought a solo career.

Whether you like another band's music or not you never know who is going to take you out on tour or who you are going to be friends with and that is just something that is important to us.
