For me, becoming a father at 50-plus was another challenge, but then, I am neither the first one, nor the last in this category.

You are a star only when the public accepts you, and it doesn't matter where you are coming from, and what kind of a launch you are getting - everyone has to begin somewhere.

It's very important that your kids get to do what they want to, and not what you want them to do.

I am a staunch believer that every child is born with his own destiny and I would want to do everything possible for my kids for as long as I am around.

I don't think of my music in terms of a career. I just want to get it out there and do it. I'm not manipulating my sound to be like anybody or trying to write to sound like anybody else.

Do you want to have a career that goes beyond, you know, 11 minutes in a 22-minute television show every week? Some people don't. That's fine.

The band will be going along, and somebody or another will say, 'I want to go off and do a solo career.'... They come back, and other people come in.

When I went to the Pro Bowl, I went as a tight end. When I made the All Pro team, I made it as a tight end. When they introduced us and I ran out of the tunnel, they introduced me as a tight end. So how is that possible that now that my career is over, they say, 'Well, he put up stats like a wide receiver?' It's not my fault I was ahead of my time.
