I don't want to mix the identities. Noah Drake isn't Rick Springfield.

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

I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.

As I've gotten older, I realize how important my fans are and that I'm here because of them and not the other way around.

I took that time off - I knew it was messing me up, not being connected to a spiritual plane.

I mean I was famous for nothing.
