Having children showed me a whole different kind of love that I had never known. It was something that had always been missing. Complete love. I would die for them.
Every single thing I've done has made me who I am today. The only thing I would take back is hurting the people that I love, and the people who I love have already read my lyrics and heard my apologies. But the rest of the world, I don't need to apologize to them. My life doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the world.
Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love 'Young Americans' and 'Fame.'
Who you are as a person has to do with what you think and how you feel. It has to do with how you love and how you care for people.
I still love making records, and I'm able to do it because I own my own studio, and I try to do it as much as possible.
I like wearing fitted jackets mixed with jeans, a button-down shirt and a tie. I like to keep the rock and roll feel but class it up a bit. As far as stage clothes, I prefer John Varvatos and All Saints. They have clothing that is really accessible for wearing every day as well as for wearing on stage. I also love J. Lindeberg's suits.
I'm one of the luckiest people in the world that I was able to do what I fell in love with and be able to make a living doing it.
It's incredibly stressful when the person you love is having a child.
When you're in love, you've found your soul mate, you think life is going one way, and suddenly it's completely apparent it's not. You have to rethink your whole purpose.
When bands got really big and sold a lot of records back in the day and did really well on the road, everyone developed a certain ego. And there's a certain entitlement that comes with that. And it stops people from communicating the way you used to communicate when you were in a band together and it was all for one, one for all.
You have to spend a lot more time on the road these days if you want to make a living with music.
A lot of journalists like to suck up to celebrities, and then as soon as they're a safe distance away at their computers, they take shots. But that's the way society has become, especially in pop culture.
If I was in a zombie apocalypse, I wouldn't be playing music, because that would attract zombies.
As horrible as jail was, there were some first-rate guys in there.
