There's something about playing every night, it becomes easy and it becomes fun. I love being up there and playing for different crowds every night.

I got tattoos for purely antisocial reasons, and now people do it for social acceptance. I miss the individualism.

When I see everyone doing the same thing, I want to do the opposite.

I think I'm probably going to have more luck on tour, on the road, than I am at home, because as hectic as traveling can be, I have a little bit more control, for life situations out there on the road. It's the one aspect of my life I feel like I do have some control of. I can wake up in my hotel room, I'm alone and I can ease into the day and do what I need to do. It's not like I've got to get up and drive the kids to school, feed the dog, get to the gym, go to practice, go pay a bill, you know what I mean?

I was taught early on in my recovery that, 'Pain is good. Extreme pain is extremely good.'

I do feel like, now, approaching fifty, I am definitely at a crossroads and having to reevaluate things and look at things. It's time for more change, and that's good.

I think you never want to limit yourself to one style of anything. Why put those limitations on yourself?
