There are a lot of people going around where an alien took over their body, and their soul will actually leave and be, like, in a sleep or in a near-death situation.

I'm a songwriter. I've got ideas in the closet that just didn't work out with my band, that I think, "This is a great idea, it's just the wrong guys."

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

I think all the bad blood started when Geffen released a greatest hits package of my solo stuff.

I've always been into writing love songs.

I had been reading this book about Zen Koan philosophy, and it was talking about the right here and the right now, and how important it is, and I was really trying to get there in my life.

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