But music can save your life sometimes. It probably saved me from working in a bank or something. That's a kind of salvation right there.

Back home, playing music is never anything you imagine you can do for a living. It's what you do after work.

Do not take up music unless you would rather die than not do so.

I'm unqualified to do anything other than music.

The trouble with making music as a job is that I have no outside interests. All I can do to wind down is go to sleep.

I do a lot of performing, but don't get a chance to go to the studio and write good music.

Professionally, I want to keep playing music; I can't escape that.

I don't feel like I'm very good at making music.

You can't save the world with music. But I can try. I have the same job as Bruce Springsteen. I have to go as far as I can with it.

Making music, if you're a real musician, you carry on regardless in this world.
