I would practice while listening to records or learn from musicians who were better than I was.
I think it's pretty bizarre, ... I think you look to music to help you through (growing old), and the music that's strongest in your soul is the stuff you heard as a kid. I do that all the time. I listen to old albums and there's almost a spiritual support there.
I think I lost my direction at the end of the '80s; I didn't know what I was writing anymore,
I've gone pretty high at times so I think the yin yang of that is going pretty low.
Over all life is what it is and regretting is a pointless thing.
Yes, all my songs come from personal experience and relationships.
Probably General Hospital had more to do with me getting known physically than MTV did,
They're songs I honestly wish I'd written. I had a huge list of songs but wanted to keep the album a little bit more on the moody side.
Young female voices are the loudest voices of all with the fans.
Thirty, 40 times a day I must get questions when I'm on the road about General Hospital or Noah Drake. It's constant, ... It amazes me that it's still so prevalent in the fans' minds.
Relationships and the stress of the world going down, it puts a lot of stress on people, you know financially.
I'm thought of as very light 'pop-y' kind of music, but it all had very dark undercurrents and I was a very messed up person... there's a lot of double entendre stuff in it.
I am a bit more of a whore with my acting than I am with my music. I am not a whore with my music.
I can wade into an audience now and not lose a limb, so that's great,
