Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it.

I'm not bitter, I'm bittersweet.

My voice? Yeah, well, I used to drink a lot of beer when I was a kid and I sounded like a drunk in a choir. I don't drink anymore.

I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.

Everything I do - if I do it, is going to be personal.

I look upon The Animals, they were a great band initially, we left our mark, but thing was it was a band that couldn't live up to its name so I soldiered on. On one level, it was devastating for a while. On another level, maybe I should thank them for helping me make my own way in my own career.

The rock biz is the low end of the creative world. Faces come and go so fast.
