I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the dictaphone.

I think that the best rock n’ roll is about the spirit of being young, the feeling of being 16 and getting crazy with your friends and going out to a show and just that...

No, if it was up to me every record would be brand new studio material but Atlantic records asked me to put out a full live record because my tour really did do well last...

A lot of people when they try to sing Skid Row songs, they’re screaming and yelling too much. It’s more singing than screaming.

Every single band in the world has these gigantic songs that people are obsessed with.

You know what I’m doing starting 1st November? Jesus Christ Superstar.

I’m a TV junkie. I’m always flipping through channels.

I’m always working on new songs. With the technology these days, any idiot can record on Pro Tools on your laptop. All you have to do is plug a microphone into the input jack and...

So, it ended up being what you have there, seven songs brand new and ten live songs which is a good mix.

I acted in millions of TV shows.

I can’t drink whiskey like I used to back then, that’s for sure.

Quebec City is the most European of any city in North America; they speak French all the time. There is a part of town called Old Quebec which is really like being in France. The...

I’ve been solo since 1996, so I’ve been doing it for a while now.

I think if you can get to that point, exercising, when you really enjoy it, then you’re pretty much set for life.

The way I look at a solo project is, I create what I want with whoever I want.

I mean, MTV or the mainstream media can tell you one thing, but when there are 40,000 people in front of you, who cares about all that?

I could never want to be in a band where the ultimate good job I could do is to really impersonate somebody a lot. What kind of a life is that?

I am the man who put the hair in hair metal.

Inside I never said I wanted to do theatre or be an actor.

I would play with Guns n’ Roses anytime.

There is no singing anymore, everything is yelling and shouting and rapping and that is real boring to a guy like me.

It’s weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life.

I do Skid Row every night.

I don’t understand the mentality of a rock fan, being obsessed with two or three songs from 25 years ago. I’m not that kind of a fan.

It is easy for me to go play a rock show, I have been doing that all my life and I love that.

It is incredible to me that my Twitter feed is a source of ‘news’ for every rock news outlet around the world.

There’s way easier ways to make money, let’s just put it that way.

I used to live in Canada. It’s a beautiful country with a lot of different kind of topographic regions.

I got the whole band set up in the basement and we are jamming.

I still get crazy once in a while, but just less crazy.

It’s too easy to do your own site to not have one these days. I guess everyone has one.

I get noticed for different things I’ve done in different areas of town. If I’m in a rock club, it’ll be Skid Row, if I’m in a mall it’s the ‘Gilmore Girls.’

They don’t have the edge that I need. I’m not interested in reliving 1988.

I’m not interested in thinking up the name of a band and a logo and all that. Been there, done that, sold a million T-shirts.

I guess I watch more MTV than you do. I’m a junkie for it.

What is music for? It’s to make you feel good.

Kids don’t go out and buy CDs, they make their own, they download them from the Internet.

I never really knew what fine cuisine was when I was a little boy in Canada. For me, Italian food was ‘Kraft Dinner’ or pizza. When I moved to New York, that’s when I discovered...

They have had such a crazy life living with me as their dad. Not crazy but different from their friends.

If I ever grow up, I don’t want to be around for it.

I had to get out of my record deal that I signed with my previous band and get a full solo record deal going so, with all of the paperwork that, that entails it did...

I mean I’ve never been thrown in jail in New York or Los Angeles.

Maybe if they start playing new rock bands videos, then maybe but there is no point in a guy like me spending 250 grand for a video that no one is ever going to see.

I would say a must-do in Canada would be to go skiing at Whistler in Vancouver. You could take a chair lift for, like, a half hour to the top of this mountain, and you...

To think that when they come out with these gigantic songs, it’s pretty tough to top them, you know.

My voice has gotten me everything in my life, not my hair.

I listen to music for emotion and I get zero emotion from rap.

Bret Michaels and Dee Snider and I know how to step on a stage and front a band, and we’re not ashamed to. We’re not shoe gazers.

Maybe one day I can have a reunion with myself.

I actually had a bunch of songs that I worked on with Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed, but they were too heavy for me because my voice sounds good when I sing clean. It sounds good...
