The worst thing I ever wore, really, was rubber pants, but I don't think that was a cliche. They were just way too hot. Rubber doesn't breathe. I look back on my photos, and I dig them. I think I look really cool.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

America gets rock stars a little more than Canada does.

I think that the best rock n' roll is about the spirit of being young, the feeling of being 16 and getting crazy with your friends and going out to a show and just that whole feeling.

I guess I watch more MTV than you do. I'm a junkie for it.

I don't understand the mentality of a rock fan, being obsessed with two or three songs from 25 years ago. I'm not that kind of a fan.

My vocal style is called bel canto, which is an old Italian vocal style going back hundreds of years.
