As to the Indians, the guiding principle was, promise them anything just so long as they get out of the way.
“I have to take time occasionally to get away from the pressures of this business. If I don't, I think I would get stale, and that would show in my music.”
“Once I decide to do something, I can't have people telling me I can't. If there's a roadblock, you jump over it, walk around it, crawl under it.”
