There was an uncommon array of people in there [rehab] with me, and I became friends with all of them. You recognize the possibility of your own demise in the lives of these other people. You're doing the same thing they are, but you can't see it in yourself. However, you start seeing all of these tragedies and potential miracles in other people. It's a real eye- and heart-opening situation.

I have to laugh at myself.

Honestly, I'm really just a teddy bear.

All summer long; we'll be playing the festivals. We'll be Reading, we'll be Leeds, we'll be around.

I never felt like dying was a good idea.

I would consider him definitely one of my very best friends and I know he feels the same about me. We have a lot of love and respect.

I never really thought in terms of the concept of being a rock star - being around people like that just seemed like normal day-in-the-life stuff to me. Those were just the surroundings I grew up in.
