Music is my love and to me acting is more mercenary. I don't pound the pavements for roles: if it happens, it happens. I hate that auditioning thing.

Rock & Rollers don't dress for the weather.

I've been tired since I was 15.

I'm not impersonating anybody. I'm perfectly satisfied with what I am.

As I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.

I think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues. What we're trying to do is play rock 'n' roll, but other people call it different things.

Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built.
