I didn’t want to be told what to do. I don’t want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything’s turning into one big commercial.

Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I’m a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist.

How many new rock stars have come around that have anything to say at all? Guys where you even want to know what they’re thinking? Are they thinking? Where did it go astray?

I never thought I’d be on the cover of the ‘Atlanta Journal’ unless I killed someone.

I’m not interested in a persona.

My music is how I feel, and that’s changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.

I like unkempt; I don’t mind if I have holes in my jacket or whatever. I think people should look more the way they feel.

What I had to learn was, that I’m responsible for my perception of things.

It’s funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don’t like the way you look.

I’m not a big fan of Robert Plant’s lyrics or his singing.
