I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.

At a certain point I'm going to want to have a family.

At a certain point, you can't tax people beyond a certain level.

You get to a certain point in your life where you get closer to the end of your life than the beginning, and it colors your life, in a way.

I don't think people go to musicians for their political points of view. I think your political point of view is circumstances and then how you were nurtured and brought up.

At a certain point, you have to kind of realize that greatness is a messy thing.
