To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no like 'I'll be the rock star you be the adulating fan.'

I got interested in the idea of music that could make itself in a sense in the mid 1960s really when I first heard composers like Terry Riley and when I first started playing with tape recorders.

Yeah I've been interested in music since I was a teenager always writing songs.

When I was a teenager I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

I've always been interested in making movies.

Everybody gets typecast in movies but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look so you have to fight that. If producers had their way I'd only be in action films but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

I've never been interested in action movies. Definitely not interested in sci-fi.

I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies which I felt there was a lack of.
