I still hate [the Eagles]…. There’s levels of evil in it to me.

There's no reason to stop. Who knows what's around the bend? To participate, meet new people. It's mostly other musicians and people like you, or anybody I meet who's in this, that keeps me going.

So much of rock lyrics is just a mirror of real feeling. It doesn't feel dangerous to me. They just feel like "rock lyrics."

Obviously songs and musicians mean a lot to people.

When I was in high school, I was a late bloomer. And just like all those supermodels who said they were gawky and no one liked them, that was me - metaphorically. And so I was ready to rise like a phoenix in later times.

I'm thinking, I'm singing like Ozzy Osbourne, but I don't sound like him enough, ever.

There's always a chance, a goal to make something different and get it right, finally.
