I have an uncle who lived to 101, and my father died at 95, so I have a second career ahead of me.

You don't need a four-year college degree if you have burning ambition or a great plan.

We can't recreate Woodstock, nor do we want to. We want to turn its notoriety into a place where we can shape controlled, scaled-down musical events of all sorts.

There is not a week that goes by that I don't have a dream that I am back in the business.

I can't imagine finding success and then moving to a building in Manhattan with 300 strangers, like a bunch of little ants going home at night.

Families used to come from somewhere, and that's where they stayed.
