When you're on stage playing, when I plug in a guitar and chord, I'm 16 years old again. I feel the same excitement. It's very overwhelming. It engulfs you.

I'm always happy when I'm outside working in the company of nature.

I always loved music. I liked to go to church because I liked to sing the hymns.

I was good at sports - basketball, football, tennis and dropped them all. At 16, I didn't care about sports anymore.

I can put on 'Revolver' or 'Led Zeppelin II' and then 'Tell the Truth' and there is no quality gap.

I think that 'Tell the Truth' is one of the best rock records ever made by me or anyone - I really do.

I knew that I had done my best on 'Tell The Truth'... I was so proud of that record.

I have a lot of gay friends.

I'm not a poet. So the writing process is a difficult one for me.

I started as a guitarist and couldn't find a decent singer, so I started providing my own vocals.
