1. I like to see other bands, and I like to hear their songs, but I really like it when they engage the audience.
2. The American Music Awards mean more to us; that’s a people’s award, and we’re a people’s band. The Grammys are the critics.

8. We’ve always been a band of the people, and we will always remain a band of the people.

13. My muse has always been the piano.
14. How do we keep it up? Because that’s what we do; we’re musicians, and we love to play and make music. And with every album, we get better, and with every tour, we get better.
15. Whether you’re black or white, you’re a human — and that’s what matters.
16. Everybody in the world has problems, and the nice thing about entertainment is you get to forget about those problems and have a good time for a couple of hours.
17. We’ve been here since 1983 as a band.

19. Our job is to be performers and give everybody a great night where they can forget about their problems and the world’s problems, because they’re always going to be there. They were there since the beginning, and they’re going to be there until the end.
20. It’s a sense of pride, a sense of you set out to get a record deal, and we got that. We set out to get a №1 record, and then we got that. Then you say, ‘Wow, that was impossible and now even more impossible is to stay №1 and stay current and put out new records that people care about,’ and we really stuck to that.
