We want to keep extending our brand into different places, into movies and soundtracks and our music will live on through licensing and our brand lives on through merchandise and new generations will get to wear our clothing and our T-shirts and stuff that's associated with us.
Formats are going to change because this is what the people want. It's not what the labels want.
I don't want to jump through hoops for people.
When I photograph someone, I want to shoot the subject and get them out of my studio so I can play with the photos and do all the stuff I want.

Vince has said over and over, you know, rock 'n' roll never really goes away,
Vince feels horrible, ... He wanted to finish the show but I think it's better he didn't, in the big picture. From all four of us, we're very sorry and will be back to Atlanta. No shows will be canceled.
