I started out myself rather late you see, I was 18.

I think we all appreciate it now just how lucky we are to be in a band like Judas Priest.

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.

Shortly after that, we got management problems over in England, and Judas Priest asked me to join.

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.

I've got the luxury to tailor make the songs so I can sing them.

In my first bands I was a singing guitar player, but if you heard any of those songs you wouldn't describe me as a singer. But I can make it work.

A lot of bands that reunite do it for the wrong reasons. They do it for the bucks and everybody can sense it.

I never took a lesson until I was 20, and I'm glad I had those years living the life of a normal person. I don't consider that time wasted.

Back in 1994 there was no Judas Priest.

There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.

Terrible times breed terrible things, my lord.

I do not think I'm a great talent. I think I'm a medium talent, but I think I understand the business and enjoy the business.

My parents never pressured me except to advise me against acting.

When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important.

I have never taken a picture for any other reason than that at that moment it made me happy to do so.

If your house burns down, rescue the dogs. At least they'll be faithful to you.

Relief washed over me like that first air-conditioned breeze on a hot summer day.

She would not exchange her solitude for anything. Never again to be forced to move to the rhythms of others.

Too late for fruit, too soon for flowers.

Fashion is the abortive issue of vain ostentation and exclusive egotism ... tied to no rule, and bound to conform to every whim of the minute.
