Music is like girlfriends to me; I'm continually astonished by the choices other people make.

You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.

I grew up on radio, not TV.

You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real.

A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.

Women are great. When they dig you, there's nothing they won't do. That kind of loyalty is hard to find - unless you've got a good dog.

Well a good writer writes, a good musician listens to a lot more than he actually composes, and if you're going to do lyrics - well, there's a Freudian slip. That's not even a slip, that's a Freudian move: I said going to do lyrics. If you really want it to ring true, you'll live it first. Go really get your heart broken!
