I opted out of the band.

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.

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.

I think the French and the Japanese are both obsessed by seasons, small producers, freshness.

There arose a belief in style - and in banality. Banality encompassed politics, too, because it was a common belief that politics were not worthy of art.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has, as Minister Livni knows, has been my friend for over 30 years. We drive each other crazy. But he has truly been a personal friend for well over 30 years. He acknowledged this.

My responsibility is to speak out on my own convictions.

I had people when I was younger trying to feel me up. Older men. I just told them to get lost.

I know I should give up drinking but I am not a quitter
