I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things Ive been through are serious.

Life is life. You do a lot of different things and you have great adventures but there's not a lot to talk about unless you're in the middle of an adventure at the time. Circumspection is not one of my better, favorite conditions, really.

Alice Cooper's weirdnesses must really make the kids feel violent. These kids are like my sister, young people of 14 or so who've come to enjoy themselves. So you put things like that in front of them, and I don't think it's right.

I think I'm prone to panic.

There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.

Everybody's got something to tell you. And most people have told me to do the obvious thing as far as my career goes. Which would have sent me tottering into the abyss.

All I can say is that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're young and foolish.
