I had no balance in my life. I was this one person onstage and this person offstage, who really didn't know much about living.

Make this man a saint now, OK?

I was never told a thing about sex. So I was very naive, as were my friends as well. But I - me so especially.

I am totally against the war but violence is part of mankind and it's going to happen, but as musicians I think we've got to step up and say 'come on'.

I'm glad I've given up drugs and alcohol. It would be awful to be like Keith Richards. He's pathetic. It's like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go onstage and look young.

I really appreciate my performing so much better, as I get older. I don't take it for granted anymore. I really relish it and love it.

Basically, I wanted redemption for the way I lived my life beforehand, and that was the drugs, the drink, the loose sex, whatever.
