I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.

I'm happy, I would say that I'm one of the happiest people I know but I've certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about.

In the past, there has always been so much pressure about carrying a show and promoting a record.

But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever.

I think really what I'm saying is that I thrive on adversity.

I've never, ever in my life enjoyed playing live the way I am now.

One time Robert Plant was set to check into the same room after I checked out, so I removed every light bulb and ordered up a bunch of stinky cheese and put it under the mattress.
