Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides.
Computers and the Internet have made it really easy to rant. It's made everyone overly opinionated.
My family is the most beautiful thing in my life beyond anything else, even music.
I'm one of the luckiest people in the world that I was able to do what I fell in love with and be able to make a living doing it.
Having children showed me a whole different kind of love that I had never known. It was something that had always been missing. Complete love. I would die for them.
Every single thing I've done has made me who I am today. The only thing I would take back is hurting the people that I love, and the people who I love have already read my lyrics and heard my apologies. But the rest of the world, I don't need to apologize to them. My life doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the world.
Sing the song or keep it inside.
Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel. And that's why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life, and that's kind of the beauty of it.
I prefer to break new ground, but it gets harder and harder with the territory that's already been walked on.
Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.
Well, a lot of successes come by mistake.
As I've gotten older, I've found that I'm not afraid anymore to throw my influences into making a record.
It doesn't matter what kind of problems a family is having; it should always stay in the family.
A lot of journalists like to suck up to celebrities, and then as soon as they're a safe distance away at their computers, they take shots. But that's the way society has become, especially in pop culture.
I like wearing fitted jackets mixed with jeans, a button-down shirt and a tie. I like to keep the rock and roll feel but class it up a bit. As far as stage clothes, I prefer John Varvatos and All Saints. They have clothing that is really accessible for wearing every day as well as for wearing on stage. I also love J. Lindeberg's suits.
Anytime I feel squeezed into a box, I just lash out. My gut reaction is to strike. It's a different character onstage: there's a whole dark sexuality that's completely different from me. You know, I don't let anybody know who I really am.
I'm beyond the point of thinking I'm powerful enough to solve my own problems.
There was a period of time where I really hated rock music.
I want my ex-wife and children to be happy.
I feel lucky to be alive.
