I really have been enjoying performing more lately than I have in a long time and you know, it's all about that sort of centered feeling that I have now.

No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.

I'm searching, as we all are, for ways to feel good about myself. Certainly, looking in the mirror doesn't do it!

If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style. You won't hear me surrender, you won't hear me confess cause you've left me with nothing but I have worked with less.
