New generations are intoxicated with the idea that they can make their presence known on the Internet. When I was young, there wasn't anything comparable. Very few got their picture in a magazine, fewer made records. We have to stand back and let them get their footing. Hopefully they'll come to the realization that the most important thing is their work and how they conduct themselves.

I wasn't taking drugs or drinking. I was working and working and working. But I wasn't writing anything.

What will happen to us?" I asked. "There will always be us," he answered.

I don't think people should do biopics of living people. I'm totally opposed to that.

I immersed myself in books and rock 'n' roll, the adolescent salvation.

I hate to be enclosed. I don't like bathroom doors - I don't shut them. In fact, in my house, I have no doors.

All the traumas I went through separating art from writing don't exist anymore. That's why I love being in rock 'n' roll. It's a whole life thing.
