Don't believe your own publicity. You can't; you'll start thinking that you're better than you are.

They had me doing Beach Boys remakes and all that. I was basically a marionette.

I believe in a higher power and I believe in good and bad, right and wrong. You sleep in the bed you make.

I'm not a slave to anything anymore. And I never will be again.

I have no problem paying my dues and I have no problem going out and working the club circuit.

I did plenty of crazy stuff, but I did a lot of charity stuff. You can't stop. You want to continue to taste, and sometimes that's crazy, stupid things.

When I was a kid, I went from ground zero to Pluto. The first place I played was the Houston Astrodome.
