We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.

I write a lot of stuff, and some of it I don't even present to Judas Priest. But having said that, my first love is to play Judas Priest music.

You have to get to know your voice and its strengths and play on those. It took me quite a long time.

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.

There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.

I'm a married man and I've got two children, and you have to do sacrifices.

Sadly, I've seen a lot of bands hit that sort of peak and then eventually start supporting again, you know, which we will never do. We always put a lot of thought into the way that we are going to go, and we always change.
