I actually knew I was going to be perfect for Def Leppard, sorry I hate to say that but I knew it.

The nature of touring is packaging acts together that have strong catalogues of music. It's about making sure that it's a winning combination. It's really about giving people value for their money.

I still have people saying to me, 'Oh, you're still together?' They don't realize Leppard's been around this whole time, because people just don't get to hear us.

I'm a big, big blues fan and the last several years I've really invested in the blues a lot, and I think my playing is getting better because of it - not necessarily better on a technical level, but certainly on a level of appropriateness.

Being a songwriter, singer, and a great part of a unit is more important than being Joe Guitar Hero.

The Internet has definitely opened doors and leveled the playing field for musicians.

I don't know how anyone could vote Republican. It's so obvious that their only interest is keeping the rich rich.
