Artistic development is a thing of the past, sadly.

I stand by every decision I've made throughout my career and my life, good or bad, up or down.

When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands, which I'm cool with, I think that's a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that.

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.

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

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.

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