I do Skid Row every night.

Nobody wants a fat lead singer.

I acted in millions of TV shows.

I would play with Guns n' Roses anytime.

I am the man who put the hair in hair metal.

What is music for? It's to make you feel good.

Maybe one day I can have a reunion with myself.

I want to do something creative, not just easy.

Metal is still the biggest music now in America.

If I ever grow up, I don't want to be around for it.

I'm a TV junkie. I'm always flipping through channels.

I still get crazy once in a while, but just less crazy.

America gets rock stars a little more than Canada does.

Inside I never said I wanted to do theatre or be an actor.

My voice has gotten me everything in my life, not my hair.

I guess I watch more MTV than you do. I'm a junkie for it.

Sometimes you can do things for people other than yourself.

I listen to music for emotion and I get zero emotion from rap.

I got the whole band set up in the basement and we are jamming.

I can't drink whiskey like I used to back then, that's for sure.

My first band, Kid Wicked, we did half covers and half originals.

I mean I've never been thrown in jail in New York or Los Angeles.

I've been solo since 1996, so I've been doing it for a while now.

There's way easier ways to make money, let's just put it that way.

You know what I'm doing starting 1st November? Jesus Christ Superstar.

You have got to make new music, that is the way that I look at it anyway.

They don't have the edge that I need. I'm not interested in reliving 1988.

I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the dictaphone.

Yes, but I have to say this: the band is going to decide where the band plays.

The way I look at a solo project is, I create what I want with whoever I want.

Every single band in the world has these gigantic songs that people are obsessed with.

It's weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life.

It's too easy to do your own site to not have one these days. I guess everyone has one.

You ever heard of a guy named Jeff Buckley? He's one of the best singers I've ever heard.

Kids don't go out and buy CDs, they make their own, they download them from the Internet.

It is easy for me to go play a rock show, I have been doing that all my life and I love that.

Well, you know, if you do 200 shows a year, they're not all going to be like Castle Donnington.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

To think that when they come out with these gigantic songs, it's pretty tough to top them, you know.

My vocal style is called bel canto, which is an old Italian vocal style going back hundreds of years.

I used to live in Canada. It's a beautiful country with a lot of different kind of topographic regions.

They have had such a crazy life living with me as their dad. Not crazy but different from their friends.

So, it ended up being what you have there, seven songs brand new and ten live songs which is a good mix.

It is incredible to me that my Twitter feed is a source of 'news' for every rock news outlet around the world.

I think if you can get to that point, exercising, when you really enjoy it, then you're pretty much set for life.

There is no singing anymore, everything is yelling and shouting and rapping and that is real boring to a guy like me.

I'm not interested in thinking up the name of a band and a logo and all that. Been there, done that, sold a million T-shirts.

A lot of people when they try to sing Skid Row songs, they're screaming and yelling too much. It's more singing than screaming.

Bret Michaels and Dee Snider and I know how to step on a stage and front a band, and we're not ashamed to. We're not shoe gazers.

I don't understand the mentality of a rock fan, being obsessed with two or three songs from 25 years ago. I'm not that kind of a fan.
