I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.

The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, that makes it all the way, is the one that achieves madness.

Right now I can't be sure that I will be back on stage. We have been touring for two years and that is way too much.

There's no absolutes in life - only vodka.

I don't find it easy dealing with people with drug problems. It helps if you're all taking drugs, all the same drugs.

I love America, but I can't spend the whole year here. I can't afford the taxes.

I don't think people care about the mechanics of songwriting.
