I'm just working class. I can pay the bills most of the time, usually from royalties.

I'm older, so it gets harder.

I dropped out of college, started playing music. I was going to do what I was going to do and it is what it is.

I'm so scared of flying.

There's nothing I'd really rather do, or can do, except cook.

I still dream about my parents and have done every night for 10 years, and I wake up either crying or having to remember that they're gone.

I've always been freaked out in my mind performing.

I never stopped drinking, I just don't drink that much anymore. You know, sometimes on the weekends, it's not like a daily thing.

I've always been a rebel and it's got me in trouble sometimes, and probably kept me poor. And then again, maybe not, because I might not have the two daughters that I have, you know. And we're all so close now.

I'm not raging drunk when I play. I just like to relax. Sometimes I stop and I tell people I'm sorry, I'm really nervous.

I had a few friends who we hung out with and that was it. We'd ride together, get in fights, go dancing, just causing trouble basically.

My mum always told me, 'Have something to fall back on' and I never really listened.

I was a total punk. But I was still an outcast, even with the punks and stuff.

I stay around for two or three hours after every show signing and taking pictures with everybody, and people come up and say hi and they say, I didn't know what to expect but it was so different to what I imagined, it was so cool. I want to believe they're not lying. You know so, some people don't get it, some people do.
