It's in the vein, somewhere in a cross between The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Stones, Badfinger, you know, but it's not retro at all. But it is very pop.

Too many people get lost in the game of having a good time and being naive about things.

I also have a recording studio that I use to produce bands.

It's a big shame, because 'Trixter' in my mind were what a real rock n' roll band is all about.

We really put together a great band, and have a great time.

I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.

We can get airplay all across the board, from CHR to Active rock.

But we did the best we could and in the end some of us had to get day jobs and start fresh.

The music is fun and all that, but first and foremost it is a business, it's about money.

I think we were always humble.

Just tasking a team to be creative won't get you to be innovative. It's having a corporate climate that gives people the space to experiment and take risks. Only then can you truly sustain it.

It's a bummer sometimes but I always believe that great bands and great music always prevail.

I think people are sick and tired of all the abuse songs, and drug addiction, we want to bring to world a big fat smile.

But either way you cannot deny the sales and what we did.

Always gotta keep busy or the voices start telling me to do wild things.

One of my friends is Snake from Skid Row.

I think there is always room for a timeless sounding rock band like us.

We did not have anyone like a manager, who could guide us and make it happen.

You know, with bands like Kiss back out on the road and Aerosmith coming out, we are going to be a band like that, in the sense that it's a big rock band.

We have an amazing fan base all around the world that love 40FT.

Yeah, man I am going to be writing a book soon. The reality of being in a rock band in the music business'.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.

We had gone out on the road in 94 and 95 for a three month American tour, and we realised, as did our manager and booking agent at the time, that we have really exhausted it, and we can't make money at this anymore.

No it wasn't at the time cause you have to remember, I had been playing clubs since I was 13.

It's in the vein, somewhere in a cross between The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Stones, Badfinger, you know, but it's not retro at all. But it is very pop.

I guess it comes back to the old motto, you have you're fifteen minutes a fame.

Just tasking a team to be creative wont get you to be innovative. Its having a corporate climate that gives people the space to experiment and take risks. Only then can you truly sustain it.

Death is a companion for all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we're aware of it or not, and it's not necessarily a terrible thing.

The park achieved a kind of reality. Like these virtual reality games the children are playing with. I told them we were doing this 40 years ago! Disneyland is virtual reality.

Growing up, I think I was arrested 20-odd times by the Boston police. The good news is that I've been able to use those experiences in a lot of my roles, and that has been a blessing.

All my life, I wanted to sound like myself. I never wanted to sound like anybody else.

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

How can a president not be an actor?

Independent film is film that has thought in it. There's no independent thought in studio films. It's collective thought.

The people that make this country work, the people who pay on their mortgages, the people getting up and going to work, striving in this recession to not participate in it, they're not the enemy. They're the people that hire you. They're the people that are going to give you a job.

I have no aspiration whatsoever to be the next great leading man.

It would be nice to be in one place for a while and have a social life again and get a job. But I'm not qualified to do anything. That's the problem.

What we have is two important values in conflict: freedom of speech and our desire for healthy campaigns in a healthy democracy. You can't have both.

I definitely would say, by sixth grade, I was a professional shoplifter - and not because I wanted to. I'm not going out to shoplift earrings or clothes or shoes like the average teenager. I was shoplifting frozen dinners at a grocery store.

I would say I'm pretty minimal. Comfort is key. So during the day, it's usually, like, jeans and a sweater. But for evening wear, I'll dress up a bit.

'Network neutrality' is sometimes called 'Internet freedom' or 'Internet openness' and is a legal principle that would forbid cable and phone companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast from blocking some websites or providing special priority to others.

Without elephants, Africa's landscape would be unrecognizable, yet these animals have fallen by the hundreds of thousands as a result of two enormous waves of poaching in this century - one in the 1970s and 1980s, the other, beginning around 2009, now underway.

One loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them.

If youre entering a room for the first time do it the way you would in life look around see how they have the furniture arranged. If your character is meeting another character for the first time meet them the way you would in life.

I listen to music mostly in the evening. I've come to love what is called world music, like the Zimbabwean Oliver Mtukudzi and the Colombian singer Marta Gomez. I also love the Irish folk singer Mary Black. Other favorites include Chet Baker, Eva Cassidy, and Billie Holiday.

I heard an Israeli speaking on Palestinian human rights issues, an interesting guy, and he said "There's no military solution to terrorism. If there were, Israel would be the safest place in the world. But there's no military solution."

I like life to surprise me.

As you get older, you see the world at a different angle, maybe more cynically, but I just bury my anger.

There are no right of wrong answers in goal setting. What works for you.
