What is going on in America is extreme. The youth cult, they worship youth so much it's almost paranoid. And LA is the Mecca of it all; they're taking it to the hilt.

The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.

Time passes by like lightning. Before you know it you're struck down.

What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it.

Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted.

If you have children, you don't want to have drugs and drinks in the house. It's just not good.

This never gets old, and when it does, I'll go do a movie. I like the fact that I can get into other projects because everything feels fresh when I come back to music.
