You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I've seen are the ones that can sustain themselves.

I know that the gift that God gave me isn't gonna just wither up and die unless I let it die, so it's a matter of me having the faith that it's gonna come out. Whether or not the public's gonna like it is another story. But I think as long as I keep changing and sticking to what I really love - and the same goes for Steven and the other guys in the band - then people are gonna like it.

Rhythm and sex go together and that's where I come from as far as the music goes. Rag Doll and Love In An Elevator are such sexual songs that you put them on & the strippers go NUTS!

I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.

I think that's really important, that kids get exposed to music as soon as they can - not necessarily to become musicians, but at least have an outlet. It's an art form that's easily accessible to young ears.

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

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