I'm a commercial artist, both in music and art.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.

I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer.

You either evolve or you don't. I don't like old people on a rock n' roll stage. I think they look pathetic, me included. And the fact that I represent an era means I can't just go out there and do all new stuff. They would all say, 'Sing 'White Rabbit,'' and I'd say no? That's rude.

It's really a drag to sit around when you're old, and think, 'Ah, gee, I never went to France.' Go to France. Life is very short; you've got to pack it all in there.

Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.

Rock roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.
