Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.

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.

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.

The world today is the same as it always was but people know more about what's going on in the world than they used to.

I've been around the block a couple of times, and the guy I am now is the guy I like to be.

I still do a lot of shows with Brian Koonin, but we haven't had a full band lately.

The first Latin music that blew my mind was bumba, which was a Puerto Rican beat.
