I have a place in New England. It's in the middle of nowhere, like horror movie style - Stephen King-ville. It's a good kind of retreat for me to regroup my thoughts and work. I split time: 50 percent there, 50 percent in New York

I go through ups and downs just like everyone does.

I think Robert Plant is the quintessential frontman - just the way he moves. His voice is superhuman.

Everyone likes to stereotype things or write them off as not that serious or "this is just a phase," especially when you're that young. The music was never a phase, but the wardrobe was certainly a phase, so I think that may have overshadowed the music in the beginning, for sure. I was so outrageous.

This is my life, and I want to live it and enjoy it if I can.

The music was always the thing that has been in our world.

I love all the '90s kind of grunge, and I love classic rock: That's where the spectrum lies.
