I don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!

I've always got something to say.

Why there aren't people out there willing to have fun playing rock 'n' roll. I just don't get it.

I've been able to do a lot of things a lot of people haven't, that other people would dream of. I've been able to live out my fantasies, and dreams! So, I'm real lucky.

So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it's great that now, 25 years later, we're not only putting out our own music, but are able to put out music by other bands. That's really exciting for us.

I leave for the show at least an hour ahead, and I do some vocal warm-ups, and that's pretty much it.

One of the mistakes I made was believing that the rock 'n' roll genre as a genre was much more free than the whole pop or R&B scene.
