I did play every little note on the guitar on that record

I worked at the cosmetic counter at a fine department store

I had funny memories, too, but the music was more important to me than anything else.

I was never ready to give up, but I did get words of confidence to move forward from a few musicians that had climbed up the totem pole of rock. They were encouraging words that struck a nerve with me and made me stronger.

It's better for me to play with guys because Rock 'n' Roll has such an aggressive attitude

So I always get in some kind of situation where next thing I know it's four a.m. and I go, uh oh, I have a photo session first thing in the morning!

I've got a great place, it's a country house
