People changing because they think they should is not a good idea, because I just don't think they should, really.

How many times can a rock star go over the top on drugs? How many times can a rock star be unfaithful to his old lady? It is really fu**ing boring, and that is what they do over and over and over. They just print the same sh*t.

He [Randy Rhoads] was really a good guy. I never could get over how incredibly little he was.
