I loved hard-rock bands, and I loved songwriters who told stories.
I think the fact that Napster is stealing recorded music is something that we have to stop. It's taking money out of my kid's mouth. That's the way I look at it. It's wrong. It's inherently wrong. It's stealing.
Success to me is being able to do what I love, make a living at it and to support myself and the ones I love.

I have a pet peeve about bands that don't play their hits. I think it's kind of selfish.
I like acting, but I like filmmaking better. I went to film school. I want to make films.

You dont have control of the car, but you can drive it. Life takes you where it wants you to go and where you need to go.
If you cant say it in three minutes, I dont want to know about it.
Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.
I don't talk about my past; people ask me about it. I've done things I'm ashamed of, but one thing I can honestly say is that things I've done that I regret, I've never done twice. I work really hard at that.
I just wanna be a rock star!
Living isn't a simple thing...no one said it's supposed to be.
My frustration has always been that I'm a Christian, but I don't buy into, never have bought into, the belief that Jesus and God are these men who just dictate that this is how you have to live your life or you are going to burn in hell.
