I don't tell 'U.S. Weekly' which parties I'm going to. I write songs.
I don't want to be tied down. I don't want to settle down. I don't want I love you.
I really believe it's the old cliché, the more you give the more you receive. I'm living proof of that.
I always say getting married was a ball. I had a blast getting married. Loved it so much I got married six or seven times or whatever it was.
Being married sucked. Maybe for some people it is not meant to be.
I'm single and loving it. It is always weird talking about that stuff. When someone is talking about who they are going out with, I am always like, who cares? Talk about your music or something.
I love women and I love the women I have been with. I always try to be kind and cautious and treat people nice.
I got into rock and roll to piss my parents off and the establishment around me.
I have always touched on different genres whether it has been hip-hop, country and the rock element.
When I started out I thought I might make a little money, get some girls, get a taste of the rock 'n' roll life. It's gone way beyond that.
I just wasn't raised a granola eating, peace love hippie type person. I'm from Michigan and was raised in and around Detroit where it is kind of you get respect and you give respect. That is how I feel.
I don't sit in my room and hide the whole time. I think people know my spirit is real.
I'm no saint but I do believe in what is right.
Of course I want people to show up to the concerts and I am sure for that to decline would be a difficult thing.
