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. Sunday morning activities? We’re deep into finishing my first podcast. I have about six production companies pitching TV shows, I have an album that is about to come out, and there may be a holiday album. So Sundays are often a work day for me. Sundays growing up? Baseball. My father was all about sports and our back yard was the neighbourhood baseball field, football field and basketball court. All my friends came over to play. They were happy memories until my parents divorced when I was about 11. Sunday afternoon? I try to make sure that I get outside for some vitamin D; often I’ll walk into town. Dinner? Out at one of four or five places nearby, or I’ll bring food home or order in. My current favourite is an Italian that does a great aubergine parmigiana. Last thing you do before bed? My target bedtime is about 11pm. I’ll do some meditation beforehand. I’ve been meditating almost every day for 50 years and I’ve found it a very peaceful way to live.
