Quotes:
I'd really been rockin' for - let's see, I started in '75, so I'd been going for like twenty years by '95, so it wasn't such a crazy thing to just take a step back. Now I've put together my road show and my music again, one way or another. The first step was that I got back with (guitarist Steve Stevens. The next step was I found my drummer Brian Tichy and then, it took me a few years to get back up to steam, so to speak. Actually, we've been back on the road since 2000.
I do exactly what I do every other day. I always sing a bit every day, not necessarily the songs in the show, but I sit with my guitar and I sing for a couple of hours throughout the day - it keeps your voice alive. Also, I made a sort of bargain with myself a few years ago, which is that if I want to get f*cked up, I have to work out! That was another thing that saved me. So I'm always in some form of training, thinking about what I'm going to be doing. But I can also fall off the wagon if that's what everybody wants!
