When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence.

When I write a song, it's all about the riff - the riff first, then the words come later.

I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything.

See, to me, rock'n'roll doesn't have any point. It's just fun. It has a million different angles and they're all valid. But I think rock might be a world issue.

CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything.

Since Elizabeth, I certainly live a healthier lifestyle.

I get to see the world and try to make people happy. I'm very much of a wandering spirit, if you'll pardon the expression.
