I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more.

Much of my high-jinx have been drug-related. When you're under 30, whatever, but once you're past 40 it's just ugly.

I can turn on the radio right now and be inspired.

In rock stardom there's an absolute economic upside to self-destruction.

I wasn't ever interested in marrying someone else's career or bank account.

I will say it is funny that writing a song about not wanting to entertain people is what got me a career in entertainment.

If my music career was my golf game, I'd be playing for about 26 people tonight somewhere.

It's like a garden: Whatever you water the most will do the best. At some point, you decide whether you'll water your career or your relationship more.
