I'm Not A Drunk Anymore, But Since

David Lee Roth Had The Idea That If You Covered A Successful Song, You Were Half Way Home. C'mon - Van Halen Doing 'dancing In The Streets'? It Was Stupid. I Started Feeling Like I Would Rather Bomb Playing My Own Songs Than Be Successful Playing Someone Else's Music.

There Are Really Three Parts To The Creative Process. First There Is Inspiration, Then There Is The Execution, And Finally There Is The Release.

Music Is For People. The Word 'pop' Is Simply Short For Popular. It Means That People Like It. I'm Just A Normal Jerk Who Happens To Make Music. As Long As My Brain And Fingers Work, I'm Cool.

I Went To The Zoo One Day And Saw A Chimp Playing With A Beat-up Acoustic Guitar In A Way I Had Never Seen Before. Instead Of Using The Pick The Chimp Was Banging The Neck And Tapping It With Its Fingers. I Knew The Chimp Was On To Something So I Practiced This New Technique In My Room For Hours Until I'd Perfected It.

I Don't Feel A Day Older When It Comes To My Approach To Music Or What Gets Me Off Than When I Was A Teenager. I've Always Been Into Different Kinds Of Stuff And When I Play I Like To Play Loud. I Like My Arm Hairs To Move And I Like My Body To Vibrate 'cause I Like The Feel Of It; I'm Still A Teenager At Heart.
