All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don’t subscribe to any of that. It’s all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the ’70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the...

I didn’t really know what I was doing when I started. I just started writing songs. After two songs I just continued to explore it.

It’s cool to go places where working people are happy.
