I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not.

You can have fun, but you also have to put on your thinking cap every day.

When you sign with a label, they do insist upon certain rights, and if you have a competent attorney, your rights will be protected.

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

That's always a cool thing to be the voice of what the eyes are seeing. It gives you the role of the Greek chorus and that's always fun to do.

All of my activities are so pedestrian. The extreme sport I play is ping pong. And we play it hard. If any of you suckers want to step up to the table, be ready.
