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.

Not necessarily, a lot of my songs are firmly tongue in cheek.

I saw what Purple meant to people and I still hear it now when I'm in Europe. I'm always shocked that I'm still asked about Purple because it was such a long time ago.

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.

Amateurs in professional situations make me very impatient.

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

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.
