I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.

I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.

I want my kids to grow up and enjoy their childhood and be carefree. I never really got a chance to be a kid.

No parent is there forever. So I won't be here forever with these kids.

I was never much of a kid person. I mean, I thought they were cute to look at, but I didn't want them in my house.

I was a weirdo to want to be in show business. Most kids wanted to be teachers or nurses.

The kids today have these fresh faces. It's like they're on pins and needles, waiting to see what I'm going to do. They've never seen me. In the 1960s, those were hippies. They were wired up already. The kids today know me because I've worked with Jeff Tweedy and other young producers.

I never wanted to be the annoying kid on set.

I was an only child until I was 14, and there were no other kids around the area really. So I spent a lot of time on my own in the fields or by the lake, with just my imagination for company. I suppose I never wanted to let that part of me go.

I was always a little adult. Even as a little kid, I just couldn't understand why I was surrounded by all these kids. I took things very seriously.
