I've never been uncomfortable putting my heart on display, my feelings on display, certainly with an audience.

I don't avoid confrontation, people should know that.

I've always loved music, very simply, as a vehicle to express myself and that hasn't changed.

I've always thought live albums were cop-outs.

The audience will make you feel like a demigod. But when you leave the stage, get back to being human.

People think that I don't like women.

Hard rock may have faded from the media for a time, but I've always been able to make a living, if not in America, then in the rest of the world.
