Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.

I think The Doors are one of the classic groups, and I think we're all tempted to feel like the time in which we grew up was somehow special, but I really do believe that there were two golden eras in music: The Forties and Fifties of big band, jazz and swing, and the Sixties and Seventies of rock. To me, they're really unparalleled.

I can't imagine anything more worthwhile than doing what I most love. And they pay me for it.
