What time are you up? Around 11am. For a long time I took on every possible form of promotion and I’d be in the recording studio by 8am or 9am – but these days I do less of that. I built a recording studio 200 yards from my house in Westport, Connecticut. That way I can record music and not have to go into New York City. It was one of the best investments I ever made.

What’s for breakfast? By 11am it’s pretty much brunch. I’ll have blueberries and granola. I’ve been a vegetarian for more than 50 years. I used to take a lot of ribbing for it. Growing up, chicken soup was the centre of my diet as a Jewish kid. My grandmother would turn the kitchen yellow boiling up chicken soup. I don’t know what was in it.
