I've got the luxury to tailor make the songs so I can sing them.

Then I decided I couldn't just crawl in the corner and die, so I started putting pen to paper and wrote some songs. I had no idea what for or who I was going to work with. I tried to find my way and direction.

My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.

It'll be basically a live album, but it will also include songs, Judas Priest songs, the audience have never heard before, because we felt we wanted to give the kids something else, something they haven't already bought.

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.

I think we all appreciate it now just how lucky we are to be in a band like Judas Priest.

You have to get to know your voice and its strengths and play on those. It took me quite a long time.

There are right and wrong reasons for doing solo projects, and this album was done for the right reasons. At the time there was no Judas Priest and I certainly wasn't going to hang my hat up on my musical career.

Yeah, but on the U.S Tour we threw a new song into the set almost every night. Ofcourse, you can't do too many new songs every night as they've never heard it.

You can have a bad day, but as soon as you set foot on that stage it's joyous.

It was about working with other musicians, but more than that it's about exploring musical areas that you could never do with the band you're in, in my case Judas Priest. You could tackle musical areas and lyrical areas that wouldn't be appropriate for Priest.

But this is what I want to do, and it is what I will continue doing until Judas Priest finishes, which, at the moment, I can't see that yet. It could be three years or five years, who knows?

There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.

Shortly after that, we got management problems over in England, and Judas Priest asked me to join.

I've got the luxury to tailor make the songs so I can sing them.

Sadly, I've seen a lot of bands hit that sort of peak and then eventually start supporting again, you know, which we will never do. We always put a lot of thought into the way that we are going to go, and we always change.

I'm a married man and I've got two children, and you have to do sacrifices.

And because of the reunion I think we've got more energy and enthusiasm than we've ever had. And it's genuine. I think the fans can detect when you're genuine, when you love what you do, and we love to be there on stage. That's what we thrive on.

If you're not enjoying yourself, you can't really look as if you are.

I started out myself rather late you see, I was 18.

A lot of bands that reunite do it for the wrong reasons. They do it for the bucks and everybody can sense it.

I have a lot to do with the writing, and also the production, but it would be wrong of me to say that I'm the most important member of the band, because everybody is important the way I see it.

Yes, we are fortunate because as a band we've always been on the up, always getting more successful.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.

There are a lot of things going on with my life right now that don't just have to do with career. So I have a hard time making decisions about work. That's really a luxury problem.

Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.

There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this, he knows where the danger is.

We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.

Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health.

In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again. We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring.

Television has certain imperatives that CNN had the luxury of ignoring for a long period of time. CNN could take the position that the news would be the star, because in most of the programming day, they were the only all-news operation on the air.
