Through it all, this wild life on and off the road , through Jordanian deserts , Spanish islands, German prisons, Caribbean tax scams, halls of fame,wine, women, and all the drugs under the sun - one constant companion has never abandoned me . My first true love : singing Its been the savior of many poor boy, and God I know I'm one

OK, I've had a life of sort of success, some people know who I am but a lot of people don't. I feel the need to change that still.

I did have a life before the Animals, and I'm trying constantly to prove that I have a life after the Animals. People tend to forget that I was the frontman with War for two years. People sort of have compartmental memories.

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.

Blues was made for the recessed.

Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.

This really blew my mind, the fact that me, an over fed, long haired, leaping gnome, should be the star of a Hollywood movie.
