I didn't think I'd be around 30 years later

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 wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.

So many things can get you high, I'm gonna try them all just once before I die.

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'm writing my biography. It's my business. This is what happened in my life, and I'm writing about it.

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