I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.

The fact that I'm still constantly smiling is a remarkable thing, but I love getting out on the road, meeting my fans. I love hearing them say wonderful things and I love being able to thank them in person for reading me.

You have no idea how expensive it is to look this cheap.

I get the whole thing, I can't talk about it. But they're talking and they got an offer. I hope Axl[Rose] can see the greater picture and not be mad at Duff [McKagan] and Slash.

Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll... take out the drugs and you've got more time for the other two.

Never judge a book by it's cover or who you're going to love by your lover.

So study your rock history, son. That be the Bible of the Blues.
