- A lot of artists I know they get a year and a half away from a record they've just made it's like ... 'Oh ... it's terrible I hate that thing,' ya know? When I record [a] record, I never take more than a day per song... so by the time the record is mixed, finished, complete, done... I'm still in a honeymoon with the record.
- [on performing in an extended run] For a rock'n'roll guy, approaching theatre in all its conventions is very interesting. I'm used to setting up, playing one show, tearing it down, getting in a vehicle, traveling - so every day we're somewhere new. It's a beautiful thing to have the show set up and you just grow in that space that you're in. What everyone living in theatre takes for granted is such a different animal from rock'n'roll, despite the fact we're basically doing the same things.
- [on a hedonistic approach to his performances] We create this opportunity together to lower the lights, to talk a little bit dirty, to have some wine, to have maybe a little bit too much wine, to have that release that we humans are told more and more that we need to deny ourselves in order to contain some sort of elusive moral righteousness.
