I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.

I always want to write erotic music... Not only about the love between men and women but in a much more universal sense - about the sensuality of the mechanism of the universe... about life.

I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.

The problem for me still today is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

I write the vocals last because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems seeing a painting listening to some music some opera which has nothing at all to do with a volatile human condition or struggle or whatever. It enriches me as a human being.

I write the music produce it and the band plays within the parameters that I set.

I think the world is ready for some rock 'n' roll. Some real time guys that play their own instruments write their own songs and sing the music and have a good time doing it.

Beethoven can write music thank God but he can do nothing else on earth.

I don't really have a style icon but I really admire the way people dress like Gaga Rihanna and Gwen Stefani. It's good to be inspired by singers who write music and dress incredibly - rather than models and people in the fashion industry who dress immaculately anyway because it's their style.
