Cheap Trick has played with every band on the planet.

Which is why, in my lieder concerts, I always strove, when possible, to sing only the works of a single composer, so that the audience could be gradually drawn into a particular creative genius' way of thinking, and could follow him.

You don't know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It's all in the practice.

Putting two songs together, I've always loved that trick when it works.

So many artists try to be something that they're not.

Music has the power to bring people together like no other art form.

Artists can do whatever they want!

You know, for a long time I have been of the opinion that artists don't necessarily know what they're doing. You don't necessarily know what kind of universal concept you're tapping into.

In fact, most artists want to make things a bit more difficult for themselves as they go along, to challenge themselves.

I think that people should learn about that. In most music, there's one way that you do something, and that's the only way. In jazz, it's a lot different.
