Until the last few years I'd only seen him at Massey Hall every year/18 months - going back to mid 70's. WHile not a big talker I do recall him talking about his songs, making jokes, tuning his guitars and having interactions with the band.
Perhaps being at home made him more comfortable but I've never seen any kind of 'tyrant' or behaviour to suggest that description.
His philosophy is to let the music speak for itself and try to perform as many tunes as he can...and idle chit chat gets in the way of that goal.
Offstage he is humble and quiet and generous with his time for fans.
Beyond that we fans can only speculate as to his conduct with colleagues, friends and family.
