The philosophy of my life is the harder I worked, the luckier I got. ”

A brain hemorrhage puts it all in a deeper perspective. I'm one of those guys hit by lightning. I see the big picture. Everything is in perspective now. Let's just say I'm the kind of guy who knows how to enjoy the moment. ”

I constantly write, record, and play music for public consumption and because it's therapeutic for me. ”

I never envisioned being a rock star. I envisioned the stage. I would draw and draw and draw the stage, or the tour bus. It was much simpler. ”

I don't want to be a reality retro star. ”

Obviously, in my past, I had a quite wild relationship with Pamela Anderson. ”

Whether its active rock, pop, country, hip-hop - I love music; it's therapeutic to me. ”

I always think in life passion supersedes everything. ”

I don't like high-maintenance. High-maintenance does not work for me at all. And I don't like anybody who talks down to people. I don't speak down to anyone who works around me, and so I won't put up with it in a relationship. ”

You're never gonna make everyone love what you do. You just embrace the fans that do. ”
