I always took quite seriously the things that Chuck D. of Public Enemy had to say. He's always been someone I've learned quite a bit from and someone I pay a great deal of attention to.

It wasn't until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can't be as bad as that workout.

I'm most comfortable on stage.

The first Van Halen album makes Johnny Rotten out to be what he really was and still is: a hairdresser.

Have you ever heard the expression 'one hot mess?' I think the term was custom-made for the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford.

Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't.

I don't want to fail the audience. I don't want to let them down.
