Any artist manages his own business along with his manager. Every band should.

Santa Monica was a big song, and I always knew it would be radio friendly. But its not a defining song for me, though for a lot of people it is.

I loved hard-rock bands, and I loved songwriters who told stories.

Being a parent is not just about how you treat your child; it's also about how you treat the other parent. If you treat that person with respect, that's fine, that's the way to go. But if you don't, you're not being the parent you could be.

If you cant say it in three minutes, I dont want to know about it.

I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously.

I have a pet peeve about bands that don't play their hits. I think it's kind of selfish.
