If you love your dad, it’s tough when he dies. If you don’t like your dad, it’s tough when he dies. Because you lose that guy. Whatever you didn’t get, you miss. And what you did get, you miss.

That's how I grew up - it wasn't cool to not have a good system.
I always wanted to be where the cool was because I didn't think I was cool. But music was cool.

I knew in my heart that I wasn't cool, but I figured I could at least be cool by association.
I follow cool. When I went up to see Steve Jobs, I said, 'The party's at this guy's house.'

It's time you stop thinking that because you did something, it's... amazing. All you've got to do is say, 'OK. If I'm great, what do they call Steve Jobs?'
I couldn't make a headphone look like a piece of medical equipment or a toy, as most headphones do.
Every system I have in my house or my car, they're all tuned exactly the same.
Dylan captured what was on a million minds and turned it into poetry. With 'Blowin' in the Wind' or 'The Times They Are A-Changin',' he set a whole new standard.
