I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.

I'm always sort of reflecting on what I do on what I've done. Usually before I make a new album, I'll listen to the previous albums just to see where I've been.

Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.

You can't even sing or play an instrument, so you just scream instead. You're living for an image, so you got five hundred women in your bed.

I get a lot of joy from playing instruments, and I have a different personality on each instrument. I like to let that come out. I get kind of selfish.

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

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.
