Mrs. Robinson is a little dated now, but it has nothing to do with Joe DiMaggio.

Artie is a singer, and I'm a writer and player and a singer. We didn't work together on a creative level and prepare the songs. I did that.

When I began making my own albums, the songs became funkier. They were more about the streets.

Artie travels all the time. The rehearsals were just miserable. Artie and I fought all the time. He didn't want to do the show with my band; he just wanted me on acoustic guitar.

I always get very calm with baseball.

How much can you do with two voices? You can sing thirds or you can sing fifths or you can do a background harmony.

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover.

When we came into the studio I became more and more me, making the tracks and choosing the musicians, partly because a great deal of the time during Bridge, Artie wasn't there.

We got on American Bandstand, where kids would dance to a record and then rate it. We called ourselves Tom and Jerry. I was Jerry.

The thought that life could be better is woven indelibly into our hearts and our brains.
