Traveling around the country, meeting fans and hearing their stories in person and on my radio show has reenergized my commitment to creating honest and inspirational content that not only serves my own creative purposes but can help and touch others as well.
I think anything that's creative really takes my mind off whatever it is that I'm going through in my life. If you're going through heartbreak, and you can write a song, it's a wonderful win-win, because it takes your mind off the heartbreak, and you get to vent.
What inspires me? I am so inspired every day. I am inspired by thinkers. I am inspired by rebellion. I am inspired by children. I have been inspired by love.
We all fall off the wagon. It's only one day; it's not the rest of your life. Pick yourself up and go again.
I have a wonderful assistant. I tell her I need four amputees and a midget, and she finds them.
In '85, I went through rehab and I wasn't ready. If you're not ready, you're not ready. You don't want to hear the truth, and you're gonna keep doing what you keep doing.

When we were younger, you know, small stuff was small stuff. But we turned it into big stuff. It's just part of being young.
I'd like to respond to rumors that I died yesterday ... I mean, c'mon, be patient! My day will come but it hasn't yet!
We are from Hollywood, you know that's where we started.
He will be able to perform, but can't really jump around until it heals. Luckily, we have a few days off here and there for him to recover.
We fit in there with all the dead movie stars.
We go to do the Billboard Music Awards to be a presenter, and we walk on stage, and we get a standing ovation from the industry.
You can't do this, you can't take a picture of someone who has built their image up, I don't care who it is. You can't use that for your business.
