Amateurs in professional situations make me very impatient.

With Whitesnake it would have been inappropriate for me to have played Deep Purple songs, although I did at the beginning because I didn't have enough Whitesnake songs.

You know, all my songs are relatives, brothers, sisters, cousins.

I probably listen to Burn more than any of them, because it was so new me, so novel. To see my name on an actual record was such an incredible feeling.

If I was a politician right now I would change just about everything.

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

All my vocals were recorded at home, which was great for me. You can actually have a studio in a computer program called ProTools. I did half the record with ProTools.
