I know a lot of people who are struggling musicians; it's a hard life, and I've risked being that. The rewards are tremendous now that I've made it, I thank God every day. But I put it all on the line for it.

As far as my street cred goes, I'll always have that, because I always hang with the kids. I'll jump right off the stage and buy them a beer. I'll be a star on stage, but I'll always hang with the kids.

I've been meeting with Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino for years, trying to figure out how to fix the concert industry. We're all so overpaid. It's ridiculous. People stopped going to concerts because they can't afford them. The Rolling Stones are charging $650 per ticket! That just makes me speechless. I love the Stones, but I won't be attending.

I don't rock for Cancer. I rock for cash, and the topless dancers.

I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.

I pissed on my diploma, smell the aroma.

I've always made music from the heart, and that's what I do. And at the end of the day, whether it works or not, I can say I tried my best.
