I Hate Painting With A Broad Brush,

The Best Compliment I Get Every Year Is That A Band Will Write Me And Say, 'we Were Just On Tour, And We Had People Coming To Our Show Saying They Had Never Heard Us Before They Heard Us On Your Show.'

I Feel Pain Everyday Of My Life. When You See Me Perform, It's That Pain You're Seeing Coming Out. I Put All My Emotions, All My Feelings, And My Body On The Line. People Hurt Me, I Hurt Myself - Mentally, Physically

As Performers Grow Older, I Reckon There Are Two Ways They Can Go. They Can Either Be Up There, Playing More Deeply From Their Guts Than Ever, Or They Can Be Phoning It In So Crassly That It Leaves A Lump In Your Throat As You Leave The Venue At The End Of The Show.

Americans Have Been Dumbed Down To The Point Where More People Watching 'american Idol' Than Listen To The State Of The Union Address. And That's Too Bad. I'm Not Trying To Take Any Bread Out Of The Mouth Of Simon Cowell, But If The President Is Speaking To The People Of The United States, And People Are Going To Watch 'american Idol,' That's Sad.

When People Make My Country Look Bad, I Can't Stand It.
