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.

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

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.
