“I\'m a very wealthy person. I\'ve been managed very well. I\'m not greedy to the point that I need to get paid for every little thing I do. I\'m an artist. I should be ***** doing art, not standing up for artists\' rights. We got Sheryl Crow and Don Henley -- it\'s covered. I don\'t have to do it. ” by -- N Young, Rolling Stone Interview, 4 Sept 2003.
