Anything that I'm doing I'm writing specifically for a particular project.

The songs that I like are the ones that you can't visualize, that are just cries from the heart - those very straight, direct songs that make rock & roll music so wonderful.

There are times when I think I can sing it better, but usually I find that I can't.

I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.

At the end, we're kind of observers - creative people, I mean. I feel like an observer, and I'm pretty much able to step out of things and see how things are playing out.

When I start writing songs, and they come easily, I'm always very suspicious. That usually means they're reminding me of something I've already done before. When the songs become unsettling, and I feel anxious about what I'm doing, that usually means it's going to be more interesting later on when we actually record the stuff.

I have a very strange relationship in general with women around my music. There's some that understand it and some that think there should be a law against it.
