Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.

I think probably the scariest thing, as weird as it sounds, was 'The Wizard of Oz' and the flying monkeys with the witch. I remember seeing that - it still seems freaky.

I don't believe in fate, because I'm not spiritual, but things do seem to work out.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

For years I wrote in my basement. More recently I graduated to one floor above, an office with all my books and music and - ta da! - a window.
