I'm beyond caring what anyone expects of me anymore.

The hack songwriter will write the absolute truth every single word, whether it makes a great song or not.

Right now, it hasn't affected my music other than the fact that I don't have time to write any of it. That's no different from when I first started and I lived at home. I would play the guitar in the afternoon and then my mom or my dad would come home and I'd have to quit.

The soul of rock 'n' roll is mistakes, and making mistakes work for you. The people who shy away from mistakes and play it safe have no business playing rock 'n' roll.

I forever felt that I've fallen right between the crack of way too young for the first generation of classic rock 'n' roll and too old to be brand-new. It's hard.

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.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a lot of great rock movies.
