Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we're having a good time.

Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.

When I came back to it, we amicably separated from Warner Bros. I just picked up where I left off, trying to write the rest of this record. It took awhile to get out.

You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.

I left my family, and I left my brother and sister, and I went and lived my dream. I saw everybody, but is it ever enough?
