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

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.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I hate wasting people's time.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

Fortunately, I happened to go east at a time when live television was centered in New York.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

Compared to today's salaries, our cut was minuscule but it was very good for the time.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have had no time to go fishing.
