I would like to work with Pat [ Leonard] in any capacity. I would love to hear his versions.

Music is the emotional life of the most people.

I do cherish those moments when I can just relax in the hotel room. Because there are a lot of details that have to be taken care of aside from just getting up onstage. You're dealing with a number of human beings whose well-being and safety you're concerned about. There are people I like to meet and talk to in the crew and the band.

Suffering, violent suffering, seems to be something that corresponds with something that we experience.
