I have long-range plans, but you always have to wait for business to catch up with you. It's a matter of contracts and meetings catching up with your ideas of what you want to accomplish in life.

We were a really crazy band. This was in '73. I had my hair real short with a white stripe down the middle of my head. The guitarists had pink hair. We weren't playing CBGB's either, we were playing Statesborough, Georgia, for cowboys on penny beer night. We used to keep crowbars onstage when fights would break out. Those were really wild times.

I was named after the next-door neighbor's German shepherd. It was either that or Cadillac Smith.

I can get into politics. I'm a pretty straight guy for this business. I have a pretty healthy outlook.

When I got out of high school I hit the road. I lived like a gypsy. Those were the best times of my life. I was living from club to club not knowing where my next meal was coming from. No credit cards, no apartment, no bills, no managers, just on the road with a truck and five guys.

I'm very close to my parents and we built a sailboat together when I was growing up. We're partners.

It used to be that a movie star would have a 20-year career. Now if you get three to five years, you're lucky.
