One thing that you hope for when you want to be a musician is that you have that recognizable sound.

Like everybody, I'm making up my life as I go along.

You feel different every day of your life. You just have to create your own space to survive, personally and professionally.

When power ballads come back, we'll get big hair again.

In '98, I locked myself in my house, went out of my mind and wrote 25 songs. I rarely bathed during that period of writing; I sent out for food, I didn't really venture out of my house in three or four months. It was a hell of an experience. The album is an overview of birth to now.

I'm doing the best I can with what I got and that's all anybody in my band is doing.

Times change and you have to adapt.
