Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.

In the media, a reviewer has his personal vision but it's passed along to a million readers or whatever. He might think that this particular song sounds like Jo Blow. Or like a Bo Diddley record that he heard six years ago. But the artist who made the record may never have even heard the Bo Diddley song. We all respond differently.

What I really like to do is just do the twist!

I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.

Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.

When I first started drinking, it was working for me. It was great. Like when you're doing a gig and you're in a band and you're in the truck and there's nothing to do in the truck and the gigs are all the same and the hotels are all the same...it's the hotels, the car, the gig.

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.
