“He likes to think he’s Paul McCartney. But Paul McCartney is a gentle soul. And a monogamist.”

“Bruce has always been so nice to me, which is crazy, because he's one of my heroes. I'll never forget being at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony the year Bruce and Paul McCartney were inducted. We were at the bar, and Bruce was talking to Paul, and he turned to me and said, 'I can't believe I'm talking to Paul McCartney!'

“I was the designated grown up in a family that operated in different reality than the rest of the world.”
