I'm a child of the 70's; influenced mostly by albums that had a wide variety of style.

We tune down a full step when we play but I never miss a note. I've learned how to keep my voice.

I play piano and guitar. Acoustic guitar. I tried studying classical guitar when I was 16 but it got really hard. I could never play a lead to save my life.

God would have to beam into me what I was doing and what the album actually sounded like because usually when I start a project like that, I already know what the album sounds like before I start it.

Good records - from my point of view, where I grew up which was Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull... bands that were pushing the envelope a little - musically and in production.

I could play everything but could never take a lead. My brain just doesn't work like that.

To actually put the time and energy into an album that would be better than Pull would be a hell of a lot of work, because I took that band really seriously, way more seriously than people took us. If you go back and listen to the records, you can hear it.

The songs were really complicated. I used to meet people in bar bands who were trying to play our songs and they were really struggling with it. Technically it was really difficult stuff.

It's like, on my solo stuff, every single person who buys the record, gets it. On the other stuff, the masses... when you have a hit on the radio, not everyone's going to get it. They are going to buy it for the hit.

I was just going more for what I've always been influenced by, European music.

A producer should only be there to enable an artist to be himself.

I wouldn't do just a tour, it would have to be an album, and the album would have to beat Pull.

In general, I don't feel artists should need producers.

Throughout the years I have tried to hone my skills to gain mastery over the music in my head.

The main thing is that I've been studying composition for the last four years. I'd say it's the life experience combined with the lessons that enabled me to go much further.

I think it's important to know your limitations too.

Rock stardom and all that stuff like that was never like my main M.O., my main M.O. is musical growth, and if I become a rock star in the process, great!

We were lumped into the Lite Metal radio bands.

I'm not financially insecure anymore either so I don't have to sit there and get on the latest Poison tour just to make money, which is what a lot of them are doing.

I've studied voice from a few different people for years.

As a musician, basically the masses never thought I was a musician.

I'd like to tour, but again, to tour my music now would take a bigger band.

I was really into Black Sabbath, but heavy guitars can really be very limiting, it's a great frequency and it's great fun to listen to but on the other hand, musically you can do a lot more without it.

It's a little bit more like I want to give this to the people that are really into it first - I don't have a lot of desire to be like Bon Jovi or something like that, I really want to concentrate on the music.

Style is as much under the words as in the words. It is as much the soul as it is the flesh of a work.

The only time I would like to see was the 20s and 30s in America because I love the music and the style and the optimism, I wanted to see New York being built. I wanted to see all that, you know.

A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.

Radical Chic, after all, is only radical in Style; in its heart it is part of Society and its traditions.

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability, it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.

His style has the desperate jauntiness of an orchestra fiddling away for dear life on a sinking ship.

Peter, of the three of us, was our prince. He seemed so timeless. He had such elan and style.

The difference between style and fashion is quality.

Style? I have no style.

Style is the dress of thought; a modest dress, Neat, but not gaudy, will true critics please.

I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.

Because there is actually something very interesting in Goodfellas, how the style of the film changes as time goes by and based on the mental state of the protagonist.
