I really had little interest in becoming famous. When I write my book, it will be my guide to avoid becoming a rock star.

I think The Doors are one of the classic groups, and I think we're all tempted to feel like the time in which we grew up was somehow special, but I really do believe that there were two golden eras in music: The Forties and Fifties of big band, jazz and swing, and the Sixties and Seventies of rock. To me, they're really unparalleled.

There's just no telling what I'll do. But I can say for certain I will continue to play, record, and put out music.

The most profound, tangible influence in my life has been my wife, Monique. I don't know that I would even be alive were it not for her, and I certainly would not be the person that I am today.

When I was first starting out, you'd have to bang an old upright piano and stick a mike in it and it would always feed back and you could never turn it up loud enough to be heard and I would beat my hands black and blue and bloody.

When I did 'Frankenstein,' the record company said, 'Now you can do 'Dracula' and 'Wolf Man' and we'll call the whole thing Monster Rock!' and I said, 'No, that's not going to happen, I'm not going to do that.' I kind of enjoy defying categorization. I love music in and of itself. I love the beauty of harmony and rhythm.

I started out playing ukulele when I was 5 or 6 years old.

I believe that blues and jazz are the two uniquely American contributions into music.

I hadn't realized the number of people that are still interested in listening to what I am doing, people I would never know about if not for being online.

I love music more just in and of itself. I love harmony and rhythm.
