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.

People think that I don't like women.

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.

Amateurs in professional situations make me very impatient.

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.

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.
