There is that unpredictability of the seasons that I enjoy. I like the threat of a tornado. I like the threat of four feet of snow.

Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing.

A rock'n'roll band needs to be able to get under people's skin. You should be able to clear the room at the drop of a hat.

It's fun, but the fun is where it always was. I mean, it's still fun to strap on my Les Paul in the basement and turn up the Marshall amp. I'm still 15. I still enjoy that as much as I ever did.

I think it should be evident by now, but I'm as lost as anyone.

Actually, I've done it the other way so many times where you rehearse the band and you do the whole thing with lights, the show and the crew - everything. Then you see what happens and you're already committed to dates. I'm just sort of putting out feelers this way.
