You know, getting on a bus or getting on a plane and doing whatever, that will just - it just kills me. I know it sounds stupid, but it's exhausting. You know, and then you've got to go back through customs and that's too much.
Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell.
Not that I have hangovers the next day (after a show), ... but it feels like one after I'm finished.

'Hell in a Handbasket' is not dealing with the political nature of the country. It's dealing with the humanity and the compassion of the world.
They expect the best that I can give them on that night, ... It all comes back from playing high school football. There were a couple of signs (in the locker room) and the head coach misspelled a couple, but that's beside the point... . As you went onto the field and you came from the field, on both sides of the door (there was a sign that said) 110 percent. And that's how I relate to that. Your job is to motivate the audience... .

If you want my views of history, there's something you should know. The three men I admire the most are Curly, Larry, and Mo.
Open your eyes, I've got a big surprise, it will feel alright, I want to make your motor run.
I was cold and you were fire, and I never knew how the pyre could be burning on the edge of an ice field.
There's no explanation for success. Success just comes out of life.
