When someone pursues music through your music, that's the greatest accolade anybody can get.

I'm thankful for serendipitous moments in my life, where things could've gone the other way.

If the timing's right and the gods are with you, something special happens.

Other than dying, I think puberty is probably about as rough as it gets.

The only good grades I ever got in school before I was kicked out were for creative writing. I thought that fiction might be in my future but then my career took a different path once the Beatles showed me what a blast being in a band could be. Writing my memoir Late, Late at Night reminded me how much I love the craft. So I decided to give fiction a shot again.Magnificent Vibration is the result. I’m still not quite sure where it came from, but once I got going, it practically wrote itself. I’ve heard writers I admire speak of that phenomenon, so maybe I’m on the right track.

I was one of those dark, quiet kids that wrote poetry.

I like to write when I feel I'm the real me.
