It doesn't matter what kind of problems a family is having; it should always stay in the family.

It seems like everyone's got an agenda, and the agenda seems to be selling magazines or air time with sensational stories.

To be appreciated by a whole 'nother generation of fans, all of a sudden discovering you, it's kind of what I did with the classic bands I love - the ones that influenced me.

I'm going to take care of myself because that's what I need to take care of.

I prefer to break new ground, but it gets harder and harder with the territory that's already been walked on.

I've changed the way I look at things. When I put out a record or single I don't allow myself to set up expectations like, "This song must be a number one hit. Its got to sell X amount of records." I have fallen into that trap before.

As I've gotten older, I've found that I'm not afraid anymore to throw my influences into making a record.
