I wanted to write a song that's known to the world as a classic, stadium-rock anthem.

Manhattan's always fascinating, too, just a big, stinky, smelly conglomeration of numbered avenues and streets, but it's just got a vibe that's hard to beat. I shouldn't like it, but I do. I can't put my finger on it.

There were incredibly few rock songs making it out to the airwaves until the '80s came along.

In England, rock music very rarely infiltrates the charts, but country music even less so.

If you're driving, don't forget your car.

Humor is an amazing way to talk people down off a ledge.

I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.
