We are too occupied with celebrity. Believe me, it's not what it's cracked to be.

Once they began doing 'Celebrity Apprentice,' apparently the audience wasn't that keen on the ordinary apprentice. That is probably the best indictment with our fascination with celebrity in our culture, which drives me crazy.

Let me tell you, 10,000 is an intimate room. Believe me. I want to be able to connect to everybody in the room, and you can't with a venue any bigger than that.

I wouldn't want to play anything bigger than 10,000 again. I think it's too much, and you lose touch.

Every day is a blessing - not to get too schmaltzy, but, really, it is.

All that stuff - 'teen idol' - that wasn't me.
