God is love and if you are ready, he always is.

My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.

People don't realize it, but no one lives that rock and roll life 24-7. They think it's hundreds of bottles of champagne flowing and private jets and money. But there's a lot of time when you're traveling - time to think, time to be lonely. Sometimes it gets to you.

I come in with this rock 'n' roll-oriented music, and it's not black enough . . . I've always had to deal with this black-white thing.

There's nothing more that we love than having a close, personal, open relationship, and I believe that's what God wants.

We weren't put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being.

(On being asked if he preferred to be a rock god or sex god) I am neither. My favourite role is father.
