I began to go to concerts when I was 12 years old.

After every concert, I greet young people in the lobbies. And I see a huge surge of young people playing music.

Although I do feel that with a show like ours we ourselves are getting a lot more young listeners at concerts.

What do kids do? They go to movies, and they go to rock concerts.

When you start playing music when you're quite young, it's easy to stay young. And then you're touring, and you see people who've been on the road for 10 or 15 years and they just haven't grown up at all.

You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.

I regularly go to concerts with my children sharing the music.

Going to a concert can sometimes be very difficult. It can be a long journey. There's the ticket prices. But when the music goes to the community - not the community coming to the concert - they say, 'Wow! I didn't know that this music was so amazing!'

I've always wanted to stay involved with young people. I never bought into the idea that entertainers owe nothing to their audience except a good performance.

The whole music world is based on the young, the very young people.
