I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children. ↗

I didn't know if it would be a success-ful one, or what the stages would be, but I always saw myself as a lifetime musician and songwriter. ↗

I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that's a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly. ↗

I'm a synthesist. I'm always making music. And I make a lot of different kinds of music all the time. Some of it gets finished and some of it doesn't. ↗

There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism. ↗

This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for. ↗

Until I realized that rock music was my connection to the rest of the human race, I felt like I was dying, for some reason, and I didn't know why. ↗
