Everything that Eddie has said about me is the total opposite of what really happened. Eddie says I wanted to be a solo artist. No, Eddie wanted to be a solo artist.

Those are the magical songwriting moments, when you have a partner that clicks like that. That's a dream come true, man.

It's a good thing I don't read everything Eddie says, or I'd be up in arms and not enjoying my life.

I was really wanting to be a rock star. I was saying, "I am going to have a fancy car, I got to have fancy clothes, and I have got to play the whole role." Obviously, I meant business.

I wish I would have known Kurt Cobain. I would have been the first guy there to get him help, doing anything I could have. I just felt like the people around him kind of let him down.

When I did red, it was nine, and that was it for me. I said, "Here I am - nine is my number and red is my color, and I'm in business now."

I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song, like "Love Walks In," I can do it.
