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

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.

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 am looking for a character that connects to me on some level. It has to be about something, it has to have depth to it and it has to be about something. The story of the character and their relationship with the people and places around them appeal to me and are what I look for.

There is nothing in the company that is either above or below me, as far as I'm concerned.

A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful money-maker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example.

Christ imparts the capacity of conquest to our lives every single day that we are willing to believe Him.

Bad human communication leaves us less room to grow.

It's very easy when you have someone in front of you that you can chase. You want to be No. 1 but now I feel like I have to play well because everybody looks at you as a best golfer. So that's why I put more pressure on myself.

It depends on the time of the year and who I've been talking to, I try to put people in the studio I like.

Mitochondrial DNA is in higher concentration, lasts longer, and can be extracted from bones.

I had already been approached to do modeling, but in the beginning, I didn't want to hear of it. Then, after two months of delivering pizza, I changed my mind, and I presented myself at the agency.

I'm really quite happy to say that in my early 40s, I wake up feeling sexy, and I can't say I felt that way in my late 20s.

President Obama's version of America is a divided one - pitting us against each other based on our income level, gender, and social status. His policies have failed! We are not better off than we were 4 years ago, and no rhetoric, bumper sticker, or campaign ad can change that.

I'd like to see marriage count again among African-Americans and not just in the society in general.

Restricting access to such a basic health care service, which 99% of sexually experienced American women have used and 62% of American women are using right now, is out of touch with public sentiment.

I don't remember ever not singing. My mother loved music, and she taught me songs, country music, spirituals. I would sing for people and pass the hat when I was 4.

One day I discovered that one could get the barrier to internal rotation in ethane approximately right using this method. This was the beginning of my work on organic molecules.

I watched all the games in the pub with my family. We used to go to a place called The Sirloin in Chingford. It was quite a good atmosphere in there.

For years, I've felt like the loneliest brother on the planet. I don't play basketball, I can't dance, and I'd rather listen to Harry Nilsson than hip hop.

Hollywood is a place where theyll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
