Beginning to create again was something that I took for granted but I never will take it for granted again.

I go to the gym five days a week and I have a personal trainer. I am on a strict diet, which is kind of hard to keep up with on the road, but I stick to it as well as I can.

After the accident Black Sheep was pretty much at an end.

We still play Foreigner songs. I play the songs that I was involved in writing.

It was a little at a time but I broke out my Walkman and my lyric pad and started writing.

It's only in the seventies that I put the sticks down and I moved to the front.

Beginning to create again was something that I took for granted but I never will take it for granted again.

A lot of times Mick will play me different things, or I'll listen to a cassette, and out of twenty ideas or whatever, I'll find two or three that are just blowing me away, and we'll start working on them right away.

When we finish this tour we are going to begin writing and go into the studio to hopefully have a brand new Foreigner album out in early spring next year. This will be the first Foreigner album out in about ten years.

For the next three plus years, I really was not in creative shape. That part of my brain was not functioning.

I am starting to look like and perform like the Lou that I used to be.

The future is finally something that we can now put into focus.

We play some of my stuff and we play some Beatle covers.

It was really terrific but Foreigner was nothing like Yes and that style did not suit our music.

Five years ago we were working on a new album when my health began failing.

I had my own musical ideas that Mick helped me with as well.

If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.

Without getting real personal, we liked our bass player Ed. He was a great guy and he was a good bass player but his playing was suited for a different style of band.

It was kind of fun being the headliners.

As long as I continue to put forth who I am and what I believe, than I think it all balances out.

In those days it was pretty cut and dry. If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.

I went in for an operation to remove a brain tumor.

You have to work with the ideas and give them a little push.

Regardless what technology is, I like analog too.

I find singing some of Foreigner's older songs are a little reckless and not exactly who I am now.

Maybe some people have written us off, but I think the new music today has also invigorated us.

I opted out of the band.

I think we are looked upon as a veteran band.

I was a drummer, and I did a little singing too.

I gave my life to Christ about 1991.

We put out press releases to tell people what had happened to me and that I had a large weight gain but a lot of people still didn't know. The ones that didn't know were floored. That was a real humbling experience for me.

From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it.

I don't write drafts. I write from the beginning to the end, and when it's finished, it's done.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Before beginning, plan carefully.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

The people who voted for President Obama are just beginning to wake up to exactly what they brought in. The 'change' they envisioned is not the 'change' they have gotten.

Religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. There's nothing good I can say about it. People use it as a crutch.

And that's how I start myself. I usually go back a couple of pages, maybe to the beginning of the chapter, and I start reading. And as I'm reading, I'm tweaking - putting in a different word, changing the syntax, putting that clause over there, you know that sort of thing.

In the beginning it was all black and white.

A palindrome is a word or pattern that instead of developing in different directions it folds in on itself so that the beginning and end mirror each other, that they are the same.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

At the beginning of 1955 only about 60 percent of American homes had TVs.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Most musicians count at the beginning, and never count and talk to their musicians after that. They only talk to them at the end of the song. But I would count with them and talk.

What you really remember at the beginning was that you have to throw a budget together. We made some terrible mistakes at the beginning in my own budget that took us at least a year to catch up on.

There is a spirit and a need and a man at the beginning of every great human advance. Every one of these must be right for that particular moment of history, or nothing happens.

I am pleased to see that information campaigns, such as the America's WETLAND effort, are getting the message out, and people are beginning to realize that wetlands loss in Louisiana affects us all.

I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.
