Your critics do not count. Their words will fade. You won't.

If I'm not learning from something that I'm doing, then that means I've done it before. Do something different, even if it's within the same medium.

The values my mother taught me were like, if you're going to do something, don't half-ass it. I remember her literally saying that to me. Like the first time I ever heard the term half-ass was coming from my mother's lips. I was probably 8 or 9. If you're going to do something, go ahead and throw 115 percent at it, and if you get 100 percent back, well, there you go - you're perfect.

You have a lot of time on these tours. As Alice Cooper said, you can either drink all day or golf.

I get way more nervous playing golf in front of 500 people than being on stage in front of 20,000 people.

I pick my nose and I'm not ashamed to admit it. If there's a bogey then just pick it, man.

You're not meant to do what's easy, you're meant to challenge yourself.
