I wasn't anything special as a father. But I loved them and they knew it.

I'd learned a lot in the Army. I knew that above all things in the world I had to become so big, so strong that people and their hatred could never touch me.

To appear on the stage drunk, to have them leave there and remember me making drunken mistakes, that was death.

If you want to get known as a singer you hire five sexy chicks and let them fight over you onstage and for the cameras. That's publicity, man.

I wanted to be loved by my father. I could do anything to be loved by my father.

The ultimate mystery is one's own self.
