I don't quite have the energy for extra curricular activities. I have to pace myself a little bit more.

The live concerts are still one of the two greatest joys of my life.

Ten years ago, in 94, we thought maybe nobody would ever care about Styx again.

We live in a litigious society, and that's the way it is. Better safe than sorry.

In my own mind, we are a much happier and much more functional family and a much more well balanced group of individual s both off and on the stage - in the current incarnation.
