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.

I was eleven and I wanted to play it because it was in my blood. It was a feeling I couldn't deny

I'm not much of a club goer because every time I do go I get in trouble.

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

I'm not much of a political person and even if I was, look, Rock 'n' Roll is supposed to be fun and sexy and a little bit dangerous.

You can never learn it all and I hope to continue my growth as a person and a musician

I don't smoke, so they never sent me a copy
