When I lived in Seattle and Oregon, we partied, which is a large reason I don't know drugs or alcohol now because I saw the Destruction of so many great musicians and artists.

I quickly learned to take anger and use it to motivate me. My sister ran away from home, and she was my world. And that was that. The guitar became my world.

I first met Hanson over in Japan and they gave me some great advice about the fans and they seem real down to earth. They're great.

My worst vice is also my best vice. It's my empathy and my love for people-it can wear me out. I rarely can turn a person in need down or because I love people, I love energy.

Psychology Today is probably one of my favorite magazines, Guitar, Guitar World. People.

I know my ambitions are big, but you've got to have something after rock and roll.

I love Chrissie Hynde and Mick Jagger. Someone at Capitol pointed out how much my inflections are similar to Jagger's.
