I never sit down to write. When I'm moved, I do it. I just wait for it to come. You just hear it. I can't really describe writing. It's in my head.
I've always been into films. I've been offered lots of films but they've always been these very stereotypical roles. They wanted me to play some gangster or street guy, or pimp, drug addict.
I've had to work very hard, and I don't really have a category or fit into any niche, so each time I come out with a new record, it's like, I'm a new guy.
I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.
I'm more hungry now than I was 11 years ago. Which is great because I see a lot of artists that have been out for a long period of time. They get kind of fat.
I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.
I knew Slash in high school, but not very well. Just knew him as this kid that used to hang out in the hallway. Pretty much looked then the way he does now.
If you ask a hundred people, they all give you different answers.
I identify with women more than men. I guess I have a strong feminine side.
I have a great time with my band and on the stage we get along well.
I feel like I'm only in the beginning of my career. I've only made five albums. It's not a lot.
I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.
I don't play the tuba.
I couldn't tell you what I am going to do next 'cause I have no idea, but I am open to anything.
I am trying to get closer to God.
