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

Music definitely inspires my design all the time.

I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.

It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.

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

I'm looking forward to going out at the concert with a clear head, with a clear mind, with a clear spirit and experiencing whatever it is. It's great.

I basically camped out for a year and a half in an Airstream trailer on the beach out in front of the studio. I had no idea what I was gonna do, what kind of album I was gonna make - all I knew was that I wanted to sit there and just take in whatever came.
