Eventually I want to subsidize my income with other creative outlets that are going to not keep me tied to the road so much.

I want a performance style that's more cerebral and emotional than physical. I want to be a creative artist, not a whirling dervish.

In my creative life, David Bowie is definitely an enormous influence on me, being one of rock's greatest shapeshifters.

I want my ex-wife and children to be happy.

I tend to get my hands into all these other things and all these distractions, and after a while I start feeling depleted.

When people ask me if I have a hobby, a lot of times my answer is that I like to surf in warm water. I like to ski, if I have the opportunity. But really, I like to go to my studio and write music that I want to write, where there's no pressure to come up with a hit single.
