We might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one

You want to give people a reason to hate my guts more? I'm making more money.

A typical day in the life of a heavy metal musician consists of a round of golf and an AA meeting.

I started just concentrating on songwriting when I was abut 20; I'd been in rock bands six or seven years, kinda got that out of my system, I said, "ok, you ain't gonna be a rock star, you don't look like a rock star, it probably ain't gonna happen. So what you should do is write songs and maybe other people will do your songs."

I'm writing for the sake of writing music. Whether it gets heard or not isn't an issue for me. It keeps my own juices going and my mind active.

I took a fresh pack of Luckies, a mint called Sen-Sen, my old man's Trojans.

I'm sure you have some cosmic rationale, but here you are with your faith and your Peter Pan advice.
