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 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.

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

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'm so scared of flying.

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

I'm older, so it gets harder.

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

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

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 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.

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.
