Life isn't pretty but it sure is beautiful.

I'm a dirt bag rock and roller. I want to represent that before anything else

The thing is, my education was music. I knew I'd be playing music no matter what. That's all I thought about, I was obsessed with it. I'm still obsessed with it. It gets the best of me sometimes.

Woodstock was about the closest thing to anarchy I've ever seen in my whole life, and I didn't like it.

My brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that.

I was on drugs when I wrote some of my songs. It was a rough time for me, but I'm lucky enough to be one of the people who learned from that experience and moved on, where other people just got addicted and more addicted and more addicted until it killed them.

There's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.
