You know, America loves the underdog and I'm no longer the underdog, so if people are going to start taking shots at me, I'm ready for that.
When you're on TV in America, the girls love you. I'm not complaining.
Every day I feel different about music, but what never changes is my love for it.
I don't want to be tied down. I don't want to settle down. I don't want I love you.
I'm thankful that I proved myself in music which is my first love, my first passion before I got involved in this media. I am hoping to bring it back to the music now.
If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If its marketed right, you'll buy it. But... If its real... you'll feel it.
But honestly, it's pretty weird; there are girls who'd do absolutely everything just to get a backstage pass. I don't know what it is, but really, when you're on national TV in America the girls love you. They all want you! And I'm not complaining!
The Super Bowl is helping out. It's nice that people are bringing some money into Detroit.
Well, in America people know us. We've got it made there, but in Europe people don't know us. We've got to win them over and that's a challenge.
No, but we put a rider in our contract that there has to be Pabst Blue Ribbon in our dressing rooms, just because we thought it would be funny.
I can't disagree with that. I've been pretty reflective lately of how blessed I am, how fortunate I am to be still doing it.
What perfect timing. I got a record coming up ... Maybe I should thank him.
My goal is to get quieter as I get older.
I think anybody that's worked hard and has built something and has been successful can testify to how, you know, how wonderful that was, how wonderful it still is.
