In the last couple of years I've been facing down a lot of the demons of the past and trying to find out, who I am, It's something I think I'll be doing for the rest of my life.

What anybody else thinks about you is really of no consequence. It's what you think of yourself.

I think we have two very important missions in life. One is to find out who we really are and the other one is to taste as much of life and experience as much of life as we can.

I take care of my voice; I'm working out the way I would do my body, so that stays in shape.

Whitesnake more than most rock bands would get a very significant percentage of women in the audience and those were the ones I'd hear the voices because from where I am on stage is a pretty good spot.

Most of the albums that have taken long have been related to illness and fatigue or producer problems.

I'm the last person to ask 'what do you remember' from a particular time period... I like to learn from the past... not 'live' in it.
