I like Manchester - I've played it many times. The people have a lot of chein, a lot of heart, and the audiences are very receptive.

I admire Gaga. She's very talented and wise, that girl.

Much of my music is inspired by what I heard at picnics and weddings and bar mitzvahs.

I've always enjoyed seeing the world through the eyes of my grandchildren.
