When I was in New York I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.

You know if you're Guy Kawasaki and you create a car that gets 500 miles a gallon with zero emissions people on the Internet would say: 'I could have done that in half an hour and it's been done before. What's the big deal? I expected something more from him.' Meanwhile they didn't do it right? They're still living at home with their mothers.

I was turning 20 during my first record. Those decade birthdays always kind of cause me it seems to reflect look back and then look forward. I just was closing this period of my life where I was living in a car and scrambling my whole life to then signing a six-record deal with Atlantic.

I would never kill a living thing although I probably have inadvertently while driving automobiles.

Living the past is a dull and lonely business looking back strains the neck muscles causing you to bump into people not going your way.

I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf I can.

I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.

I married two weeks after my 18th birthday far too young and by the time I was 23 I was a single mother of three small children Sean Daniel and Victoria living in a prefab house.

Well I started conducting kind of by accident. I wanted to give myself a special birthday present for my fortieth birthday and I was living in San Francisco at the time and I started attending some of the concerts and then simply dropping hints.

Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud as she had me so young and couldn't support me so I am living her dream it's sweeter for both of us. It's her 40th birthday soon and I'm going to buy her 40 presents.
