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.

Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers.

I forever felt that I've fallen right between the crack of way too young for the first generation of classic rock 'n' roll and too old to be brand-new. It's hard.

I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.

I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that.

I admire artists who are ageing and still retaining their edge.

I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.

I'm definitely inspired by old hip-hop.

Of course, when I started my career, like anyone else who was 16 at the time, we were besotted by the rock-n-roll scene from America, and all I was interested in was having a career of my own.
