Most people who are on the road are pretty damaged. It's an escapist's life. It's not a life that forces you to look in the mirror at where you're at and what you're doing. It's one where you leave the mirror behind. I think that appeals to something in all of us. On the open road, all of your regrets are out the window.

Bob Dylan has a way with words that simply blows me away. When he forgets his lyrics he just makes up new ones on the spot, that is what I called talented!

I always work hard to have a very close connection to the fans.

I don't know any musician who got to the top without hard work. Take whoever you want. They all work bloody hard, harder than you think.

I pretty much grew up when punk was big in the UK. The Sex Pistols were heroes for me. I used to run around like Johnny Rotten. I had a jacket like his.

I love seeing the fans of the music that I make.

In a band that works out well, everybody has a certain role to fulfill.
