Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next, but at the same time, you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.

Making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything.

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.

What I see in a lot of music movies, or rock 'n' roll movies, that feature a band is that they're lip-synching.

In every song I write, whether it's a love song or a political song or a song about family, the one thing that I find is feeling lost and trying to find your way.

Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.
