I don't talk about my past; people ask me about it. I've done things I'm ashamed of, but one thing I can honestly say is that things I've done that I regret, I've never done twice. I work really hard at that.

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.

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

A lot of people do not like singer-songwriters, and a lot of people who like them do not like hard rock. It's either-or.

I like acting, but I like filmmaking better. I went to film school. I want to make films.

My goal is to make my kids as happy as possible.
