Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

You have to understand that nothing appeals to everybody.

Fiscally, I'm very conservative. I don't believe in welfare states. I believe in giving people jobs.

I've never been high or drunk in my life.

When you look at Clark Kent when he's working at the Daily Planet, he's a reporter. He doesn't fly through the air in his glasses and his suit.

Anyone who tells you they got into rock'n'roll for reasons other than girls, fame and money is full of s***.

If your songs connect with the fans and they pump their fists in the air and go "Yeah!!" that's when a song really works. That's the electric church of it. The glory hallelujah of it.
