My son is a great kid and does super well in school. I couldn't be prouder of him. What I tell him is, 'You don't want to just be known for being the son of a rich rock 'n' roll star.' I've seen a lot of kids like that. I want him to be happy, work hard and create his own thing. I tell him, 'You're not gonna be one of these kids up on stage playing with me. If you wanna have hits - write your own. Then we can play together.'

I don't write songs thinking about formats, where is it going to get played, who am I gonna please, what's the outlet for it.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

Europeans don't seem to have the groupie mentality.

I'm thankful that I proved myself in music which is my first love, my first passion before I got involved in this media. I am hoping to bring it back to the music now.

These poor kids in Baghdad have no running water, no showers. They wipe with baby wipes. My heart goes out to them.

Getting married was a ball. Being married was... a nightmare.
