I'm a bit of an insomniac. I'm always thinking. I've got a lot of ideas for lyrics and shows. I have a notepad by the side of the bed and voice recorders around the house.

Athletes and musicians make astronomical amounts of money. People get paid $100 million to throw a baseball! Shouldn't we all take less and pass some of that money onto others? Think about firefighters, teachers and policemen. We should celebrate people that are intellectually smart and trying to make this world a better place.

The personal antics have overshadowed the music. I never wanted that but I knew what I was getting into when I got into everything I got into.

I know every Skynyrd and about all Johnny Cash songs.

One thing that will make you quit smoking is sitting across from Keith Richards all night. I don't mind being ugly, but I sure don't want to look like that.

Go where you're celebrated, not tolerated. I'm celebrated in Detroit.

I don't make music to prove all the critics wrong. I do it to prove all my fans right.
