I've always liked the heavier stuff. I've always loved Tool and System of a Down, Korn and Nine Inch Nails.
It would be pretty shabby to appear flippant around a documentary that's about how much I love my fans.
My first crush was Hayley Mills when I was a little kid in England. I used to kiss her picture goodnight.
Residuals from Australia, from the Mission Magic show, saved my butt. So there is a reason for everything.
There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to.
There will always be rock stars, but I don't know how much depth and longevity they'll have.
I went to America and got into a band, had success, had hits in Australia.
I was - I've always been a bit of perpetual adolescent.
I've never said, 'I'm squeaky clean.' It's always the people who project that image that are hiding something. No one's squeaky clean.
Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.
The great thing about meditation is that I don't ask for anything. Whereas when I pray I always ask for things!
Every actor wants to break out of the box that they put you in and that's where I'm heading, out of the box as fast as I can.
I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys - some very rare stuff.
I don't want to mix the identities. Noah Drake isn't Rick Springfield.
