Quote: “It’s pointless to be critical of your stuff once it’s done. I don’t spend a lot of time agonizing over it. It’s of no importance once it’s finished.” | “Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.” | “One of the things that upset me was some of the criticism leveled at Simon and Garfunkel. I always took exception to it, but actually I agree with a lot of it.”
