I'm here right now and I want now to be the greatest time.

I wasn't writing, I wasn't drawing, and personality-wise, I was just completely arrogant. I'm not trying to be overly apologetic for my behavior - I wasn't evil. The lifestyle I had was one that lent itself to becoming more and more self-involved.

I know I'm a strong performer. I'm not an evolved musician.

As much as I can, as much as I can afford, I keep ticket prices down. Rock 'n' roll was developed as the people's voice, the people's art, it was grassroots. I don't believe that the people should be estranged from their rock stars. They're not kings and queens - all rock stars are those who are able to give back a bit of culture to other people. It's people's heritage.

An artist wears his work in place of wounds.

Got to lose control before you take control.

I like energy. I like to feel it cracklin', I like sexual energy in a room, and I like tension.
