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.

I think people have to be more aware of what the repercussions are of their actions.

For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.

The Beatles just changed everything right across the board. They just had that right combination of clean-cut good looks - a cute band - but under that they had a real rock n roll thing going on.

I didn't think I could go onstage and play unless I had a beer to loosen up. Well, if it was only one beer to loosen up, I'd probably still be drinking today.

I think we're just a garage band that got lucky. It's the enthusiasm from the audience that keeps it going.

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