What I consider to be the barometer for what is a rock artist and what is not, is somebody who has a certain element of blues, even a hint of soul or blues music, derivative of African-American blues, folk, spiritual, or gospel.

The days are usually filled with nonsense and every now and again somebody flies by the circus to party on your dime.

What is the popular image of rock star? A rail-thin, overly-paid, narcissistic, average-talented individual who self-implodes in front of everybody, eternally having a party and who looks eternally youthful?

I think there's a lot of people who are afraid to experiment with clothing because they're afraid to get judged or ridiculed.

You come out of a working-class environment, you know, working-class kids always put them themselves together because it's one of the only things they had. You had control of your image.

Don't let anyone dictate what you should and shouldn't wear. Do what you want. Who cares?

If you want to go put on a bathrobe and go walk down the street, excellent. I think it's more about trying to get an individual style than trying to get a uniform look.
