They expect the best that I can give them on that night, ... It all comes back from playing high school football. There were a couple of signs (in the locker room) and the head coach misspelled a couple, but that's beside the point... . As you went onto the field and you came from the field, on both sides of the door (there was a sign that said) 110 percent. And that's how I relate to that. Your job is to motivate the audience... . I have never failed on a dead audience to get them alive... . If they're dead, it's my fault, not theirs.
Performers only go wacko when they fall from grace if they like the adulation more than the work.
But I never used it as a crutch, never-because you can't do that. Anybody that does that is wrong, because you have to take responsibility for your own actions. You can't blame everybody around you.
I listen to everything just to see what they're all doing. I really do. I listen to 50 Cent to Faith Hill. Because I want to know what everybody's doing, I just want to hear it.
You know, getting on a bus or getting on a plane and doing whatever, that will just - it just kills me. I know it sounds stupid, but it's exhausting. You know, and then you've got to go back through customs and that's too much.

Rock n' Roll came from the slaves singing gospel in the fields. Their lives were hell and they used music to lift out of it, to take them away. That's what rock n' roll should do - take you to a better place.
I never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That's my role in life, to be an outcast.
You can lose yourself in pleasure, 'til your body's going numb, but will it ever be enough.
Dreams they come and go, but thoughts like love will always grow.
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout.
I was lost til you were found, but I never knew how far down I was falling before I reached the bottom.
As most people know, I am a vampire, so I have no reflection. Every day, I paste a picture of someone else on the mirror.
What about your school? It's defective, it's a pack of useless lies.
