A lot of times when you're young and carefree, you don't realize, when you tip over the edge, how difficult it is to climb back in.

A lot of times, it's nice to open, because the heat's off you. You just go out and blast your set and say to whoever's going to finish, 'There you go.' Even though when you first start, people are drifting in, and that's kind of a bit disconcerting.

Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis... you know in the '60s.

I always encourage my promoter to see if we can go someplace new. And he'll go, 'OK, how about Armenia?'

I think the only thing I would've ever been any good at was probably being a pub landlord. I've thought of that a couple of times.

I have one message for young musicians around the world: Stay true to your heart, believe in yourself, and work hard.
