I was very fortunate to be at the vanguard of music video.

Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.

I've always liked the heavier stuff. I've always loved Tool and System of a Down, Korn and Nine Inch Nails.

I write to be truthful in my songs, which is why I wrote what's painfully truthful about my life in my autobiography.

Music is a 24-hour-a-day thing for me.

There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to.

My wife and I have built trust with our children and have always had open communication.
