Don't put yourself on a pedestal. Because it's very easy for someone to knock you off. It's balance.

The last thing we wanted was a copycat. When we saw [Richie Faulkner] play, we thought, We don't have to tell this guy anything. He's got it.

We are looking at these rock 'n' roll campers, and we know what is going on in their minds because we've been there.

That's the life really isn't it? You write. You record. You play. And it never grows old.

The only advice we gave Richie Faulkner was we wanted Richie to be his own guy. You have to let your musicians in your band be who they are.

I love people. I love being in a band. I love making music. I had to figure out that was way more important than being addicted.

I rarely write by myself.

I would love to be in the Hall Of Fame.

It's a joy to actually be able to control your own music.

You gotta have fun. Even now we have fun onstage.

When I put Fight together, I wanted to maintain the momentum. I didn't want to kinda disappear for five years and then come back. I was just so ready to break away from where I was before and just start the journey. To just fulfill and realize these dreams that I carry in my head.

Richie Faulkner is very respectful to the songs that he plays from when [founding member] K.K. [Downing] was in the band. He plays them incredibly. And he's got his own nuances and his own techniques that he puts in - as he should.

All I've got on my iPod is every single Queen song and every single Judas Priest song. Queen were an incredible heavy metal band. I saw them on their first ever tour, at Birmingham Town Hall. They just blew me away.
