It's nice when people are happy to hear that you're still alive, rather than feeling like Oh, finally he's dead?

Joining a band without ever having really met the people before, you just want to be musically powerful.

I think actually singing the words is more therapeutic than just sitting down to write them, because then you are letting it out, and it's coming from your gut.

I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.

There's some things in life that you really consider to be priceless.

Neil Young is my hero. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That's what that guy does.
