When I'm onstage, I'm more in the audience in my head than I am on the stage.

It's physically very, very, very trying to be onstage as a performer, not unlike an athlete, for thirty years.

President George Washington used to wear a wig and make-up. I mean, c'mon, if he could do it, I can do it.

There's a pattern when tours start - a pattern of infighting, of making up, of breaking up, of addiction. There's a pattern of going to jail. There's a pattern of passion for music.

Anybody I'm in a band with can do what they do better than me. I'm a huge believer that I can play bass or whatever I bring to the table - producing, songwriting, orchestrating - and I can look at the other guys and say, "He's got that, he's got this, and I have this." It's a team thing.

Its just kind of known in the music industry that a farewell tour means for now.

In my own life I like to be poised and have a positive outlook on life, and I'm leading by example to my children and people around me.
