Nuno Bettencourt

As opposed to touring for three years and then going into the studio and writing an album, I think this record is representative of a lot of everyday people.

As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it.

Even with Extreme, I don't think you have a choice but to sort of have somewhat of an influence of the times.

I'm a working stiff, baby, just like everybody else.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
