It had a huge impact on me, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ – and I was very proud when I found out that Kurt Cobain was a fan of mine. I thought he was awesome.

I remember one night in Memphis, I'd come out of a blackout, and I didn't know where I was. I'm feeling through the darkness - I was asleep in the middle of a freeway. I went up to this car in the darkness, and it was a cop car.

I am a raging alcoholic, but I don't want my kids to do the same.

When you’re in love, it’s not just about the messing around in the sack, it’s about how empty you feel when they’re gone.

I remember what a thrill it was to go from the back streets of Birmingham to Madison Square Garden in New York...it's like playing on Mars. You can't buy that.

I like the word f-k. F-king deal with it and move on to the first f-king question you have.
