My songs grow on people - like warts.

Without a reunion, the Eagles are forever young, like James Dean.

It seems when I put together records, as Henley used to say, they're just like movies. They should have action, tension, love scenes, places to relax.

I won't apologize for ticket prices. I think we're well worth it. We consider ourselves in the elite touring acts, like the Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney.

I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody.

It's warts and all in my songs, and I think that's why people can relate to them.
