Musician

I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.

If the timing's right and the gods are with you, something special happens.

There will always be rock stars, but I don't know how much depth and longevity they'll have.

I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys - some very rare stuff.

It would be pretty shabby to appear flippant around a documentary that's about how much I love my fans.

I write to be truthful in my songs, which is why I wrote what's painfully truthful about my life in my autobiography.

I took that time off - I knew it was messing me up, not being connected to a spiritual plane.

I have seen my mugshot.

Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.

I was more than just a moody artist.

I'm a songwriter, principally, and I was real excited that people liked my songs, but you get a bit of an ego about it.

I was very fortunate to be at the vanguard of music video.

Life is good. Yes, it's great.

Every actor wants to break out of the box that they put you in and that's where I'm heading, out of the box as fast as I can.

The first guitar I ever got was for my 13th birthday.

I don't think anyone ever feels acknowledged enough.

You never really shake depression and that's a tough road you have to deal with.

I would practice while listening to records or learn from musicians who were better than I was.

The danger in promiscuity is that it's always barking at your heels.

My wife and I have built trust with our children and have always had open communication.
