I think I had to see how bad it could really be to want to live again.

A lot of people are scared. It's the way you're raised. The way you've been told your whole life, that you've got to do this and that. Get a job, go to school. So, a lot of people are scared to just do what they really want. They're worried about what people will think and stuff like that. It's just fear.

My thing is when people come up and say to me good set tonight and I say you too and then you find out that person is not in any band. Happens to me a lot.

Everything I loved became everything I've lost.

I think I had to see how bad it could really be to want to live again.

I write the lyrics based on what is going on in my life - I'm not going to write about the old hair metal stuff, like castles and stuff.

Go back in time. Next question go and look at dinosaurs. I would be sitting on a rock looking at a T- Rex, loving life.
