I definitely get affected by new stuff. There's a lot of older influences, but there's also newer stuff too.

As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it.

Who needs fan mail when you have the Internet?

I think I'm a music fan before anything else.

I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.

Having a baby is one of the most wonderful things in your life, as well as the hardest thing in your life.

Even with Extreme, I don't think you have a choice but to sort of have somewhat of an influence of the times.

Live are a really good band. I like Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead I love. Even Oasis.

I am affected by what is around. I don't think many people would admit that.

Great vocal track on "You can't cheat fate."

Everyone will be tracked, cradle to grave, with no possibility of escape.

I'm not so good at just throwing out facts and figures and education and all that. I tell stories to captivate, that give people... that touch people emotionally.

He who pays no attention to what his neighbor does, says or thinks, preferring to concentrate on making his own actions appropriate and justifiable, better uses his time.

We have to try to cure our faults by attention and not by will.
