The terrible attack in Manhattan has given place to a burst of patriotism in the United States.

I don't really like using guns too much, you know, even for sport.

It's Only Rock and Roll.

Don’t take life too seriously and always remember: it is just a passing fad.

Taking drugs on a recreation level is one thing. But taking them while you're working on a stage is, I don't think it was that great. It's the control factor. And the thing about being on stage, you really want to feel that you're sort of in control a lot. It's not a place where you want to be out of control.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

You have to write a song around this specific character or to enhance a specific scene. A lot of other craft goes on.
