My father hated rock and roll - hated it. My first real argument with my father was over the Rolling Stones. And he never, ever liked rock and roll. He just liked me.

Artists are traditionally resistant to labels.

My mother loved rock and roll. She loved high-energy music.

I was quite an insomniac. I rarely slept as a child. Having God to talk to at night was nice.

I'm an artist. I'm interested in how art gets made.

If I have any regrets, I could say that I'm sorry I wasn't a better writer or a better singer.

I think its very important that we enjoy our life, that we get everything we can out of it.
