"I love going out and playing. I’ve never loved playing so much as I do now. I’m just going back to do some dates with my band, then I go off and do six dates completely on my own, and then I go back to Vegas to do a show which is completely different to anything we’ve done before, and then I’m going on the road again with Billy Joel again next year—so that’s the fourth different thing—and then I may go on the road with Ray Cooper again—so that’s the fifth different thing—and then I’ve got an orchestral thing up my sleeve. So that’s six different kinds of shows I can do. And I just really, really, really enjoy it. I suppose it’s because I’m totally happy with my personal life, totally happy travelling. Everything in my life is pretty much the most balanced it’s ever been. I’ve been going to places I’ve never played before—Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Abu Dhabi. This year I played my fiftieth state. I’ve got so much energy and so many things on the go. I want to do another Vegas show."
