More than accepted, it's encouraged for rock stars to be out of control.

If you repeat yourself, then I think you're in danger of losing that fan base, because if you're not interesting yourselves, you're not interesting your audience.

I want people to feel good about listening to this [Delta Machine] record, to get some kind of peace. It's just got something magical about it.

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

I'm not particularly prolific.

I try to get a degree of realism in my music.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.
