people myth
You can't create a myth on your own. People do it for you...
kissing guy firsts
The guys in Kiss use some make up too so at first it was exiting. I've almost stopped using make-up nowadays.
like-being-alone interesting problem
Women are interesting, but that isn't the problem, it is that I like being alone, and I'm also touring so much that it's hard to get a relationship to work.
glasses half way
Let's put it this way: the glass is half-empty, but the fact is, I can always get another drink
beautiful mistake next
There's always reasons to make mistakes. Because then you do new mistakes next time. So they're beautiful mistakes.
heart love-is funeral
Love is the funeral of hearts.
kids play europe
I have 4 kids already, I don’t need anymore. I’m a single parent. I’m taking them through Europe and make them play funny instruments.
song heart talking
Talking about covers, whether visually or sonically, if a particular combination of notes struck a chord in your heart in a way that you want to be a part of it by covering that song, then there's nothing wrong with it.
beautiful kids years
We're trying to have the band create something beautiful that hopefully one day, 20 years from now, can be picked up by a kid and hopefully have the same effect that Neil Young had on me, or Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.
successful drug age
We started playing music from an early age and so we wasn't really aware of that side of it, the weird thing is the more successful you get the more free booze and drugs you get, they should be given to the bands who don't have the money.
song night achievement
I love the song 'Into the Night.' It's Roy Orbison meets David Lynch meets Iggy Pop on amphetamines. It has a punk edge that is not HIM, per se. It is super melodic and super '60s, and that is very new to me and it is a sense of achievement to me.
weekend looks objects
Women aren't objects that you look at only on weekends.
eye perfection imperfection
In my eyes, perfection is imperfection
black-and-white thinking shade
I think love keeps on changing every day. It’s not black and white and it’s definitely more than 50 shades of grey.
