I'm the last person that wants to give away music for free.

Yeah, if someone's selling downloads and collecting money for our songs I would be unhappy about that but if they're trading it I don't mind, obviously if I make a thousand records or CDs or whatever, I like to sell a thousand.

I buy DVDs. I don't really buy CDs unless they're for other people.

I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.

People send me CDs all the time because I love music. It's great. I listen to them in my dressing room or in my car.

I like to buy records for people, make a present of the music.

I'm always put in the unfortunate position of asking people to donate money and people I know in bands to play benefit concerts and all this stuff.

I buy DVDs almost every week. I'm more of a film buff, so I usually buy more DVDs than CDs, but if I like someone's album, I will buy the CD of it.

I can't give money away to buy listeners. I can't pay listeners off with phones or food stamps or anything. I can't come by my audience by buying it.

When people who are songwriters say 'That's my property and if you give it away for free then I'll lose my incentive,' then, well, good riddance.
