“I used to fantasize that Paul McCartney would marry my sister.”

I knew it was time to get off of reality TV when someone asked me if I sang as well as acted.

By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs, the alcohol, the lifestyle I’ve lived the last 30 years!

When you’re young, you’re stupid. You do silly things.

Somebody said to me this morning, ‘To what do you attribute your longevity?’ I don’t know. I mean, I couldn’t have planned my life out better.

I’m about caring, I’m about people, and I’m about entertaining people. I’m a family man. A husband. A father.

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 Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who’s to say what is and isn’t a certain type of music?
