India brings out so many different feelings in me. I've been fascinated with India and Indian culture as long as I can remember - ever since the '60s with the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

The really pop country stuff can sound a little bland because they put in strings and horns and all of that.

I love to listen to the music that first inspired me - I get that fresh feeling back.

My chosen instrument is guitar and, fortunately, I'm able to muddle through that. I can play guitar to the point where I can express myself artistically.

Five years after Aerosmith got back together, I realized how fragile we are as humans. There was a time I thought we were bulletproof, but then things happened and I came to the realization that I had to play every gig as if it was my last show. You have to start thinking that way, because you never know what's going to happen next.

I never envisioned what I was doing as part of a career.

I'm glad that I never ended up killing myself, though I came close more times than I would like to admit.
