I think the fact that Napster is stealing recorded music is something that we have to stop. It's taking money out of my kid's mouth. That is the way I look at it. It's inherently wrong. It's stealing.

Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.

My frustration has always been that I'm a Christian, but I don't buy into, never have bought into, the belief that Jesus and God are these men who just dictate that this is how you have to live your life or you are going to burn in hell.

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.

People's perceptions of me have nothing to do with reality. I'm basically just your average dork.

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

Success to me is being able to do what I love, make a living at it and to support myself and the ones I love.
