In the Seventies I was so scared I wouldn't go on stage.

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

To be a liar, you've got to have a great memory, and I don't have a memory.

I'm not trying to twist people's heads around. I'm not trying to say, "Believe in me."

I feel joy when I do a great show. I get fun out of making other people happy. I'm a terminal people-pleaser. I suppose that's why I'm a frontman.

Chocolate thickens the saliva, which isn't good news if you've gotta recite Shakespeare or sing Iron Man. Having said that, you're not supposed to drink tea either but I still do before gigs. It's not very rock and roll, but it's like a magic potion to me.

My heart stopped twice. They had to stab me to drain the blood from my lungs because I was drowning in my own blood.
