Ten thousand million nightmares, temptation by the score, I used to get so high, and still I wanted more. You think my time is wasted in search of who I am, I tried so hard to kill the boy inside the man.

I love my wife. We've had a few slings and arrows across the room, but I'm not prepared to give in, you know? People say she saved my life, but at the same time, I saved her life, as well, I think. She's a great mother, she's a great wife, she's a great worker, she's a great manager. She's just great.

I didn't think anything we did was spectacular. I remember we thought, 'Let's just write some scary music.'

I'm dyslexic, I have attention-deficit disorder, and I've got something like a hereditary tremor.

I used to get upset by people not understanding me, but I’ve made a career out of it now.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.

Let me explain something to you - you have not been standing in front of thirty thousand decibals for thirty-five years - write me a note!
