The dynamic of a relationship changes when one person gets sober.

I didn't want to be in a Pepsi commercial with R2-D2 sitting on my shoulder.

I want to do something that matters.

I thought I'd reached the bottom a few times, but then I'd realise there was another 30 floors of despair below that.

You can punch a wall or write a song. Just as painful either way, but you have something to show for it at the end of the day with a song.

I write most of my songs when I'm in a bad mood.

I'd never want to be Gene Simmons, an old man who puts on makeup to entertain kids, like a clown going to work.
