Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing.

Being a songwriter, singer, and a great part of a unit is more important than being Joe Guitar Hero.

If there is any justice in the world, then eighties rock will never again serve to blight humanity as it did in that dark decade!

I never had a real job either. I sort of fell out of school and ended up playing guitar.

I like my guitars to be kinda worn. I don't like it when they're all shiny.

I actually knew I was going to be perfect for Def Leppard, sorry I hate to say that but I knew it.

The nature of touring is packaging acts together that have strong catalogues of music. It's about making sure that it's a winning combination. It's really about giving people value for their money.

I don't know how anyone could vote Republican. It's so obvious that their only interest is keeping the rich rich.

I still have people saying to me, 'Oh, you're still together?' They don't realize Leppard's been around this whole time, because people just don't get to hear us.

The Internet has definitely opened doors and leveled the playing field for musicians.

To spin the tale with great flourish but never live the tale is the power of vision strangled to fiction by the fiction of fear.

Friend, when you speak this carefully I know it is because you don't know what to say.

Generations to generations, you are God.

Truthful hearts have clear blue skies permanently hidden and bound to thrive from the accusing mists of doubts and lies." ~ Angelica Hopes~ an excerpt from If I Could Tell You

At Christmas time, I spent an extortionate amount of money on Buzz Lightyear toys, baby clothes, Disney cars and the like.

A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.

To love is to find your own soul Through the soul of the beloved one.

If what you're doing isn't working, change it.

Rock and roll mainly but I can play passable jazz also.
