I don't avoid confrontation, people should know that.

   

Not necessarily, a lot of my songs are firmly tongue in cheek.

   

In the last couple of years I've been facing down a lot of the demons of the past and trying to find out, who I am, It's something I think I'll be doing for the rest of my life.

   

My voice is an instrument.

   

What anybody else thinks about you is really of no consequence. It's what you think of yourself.

   

All my vocals were recorded at home, which was great for me. You can actually have a studio in a computer program called ProTools. I did half the record with ProTools.

   

With all the highs and lows I've had in my life, I wouldn't change anything. So no, I don't, this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

   

Whitesnake more than most rock bands would get a very significant percentage of women in the audience and those were the ones I'd hear the voices because from where I am on stage is a pretty good spot.

   

I would hope it's better, but I'm actually acknowledging now that I want to explore all these levels from a whisper to a scream with this gift I've been given.

With Whitesnake it would have been inappropriate for me to have played Deep Purple songs, although I did at the beginning because I didn't have enough Whitesnake songs.

   

I've always thought live albums were cop-outs.

   

Artistic development is a thing of the past, sadly.

   

I think we have two very important missions in life. One is to find out who we really are and the other one is to taste as much of life and experience as much of life as we can.

   

When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands, which I'm cool with, I think that's a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that.

   

You know, all my songs are relatives, brothers, sisters, cousins.

   

Most of the albums that have taken long have been related to illness and fatigue or producer problems.

   

The only one I really like is a song called Saccharine.

   

I've always loved music, very simply, as a vehicle to express myself and that hasn't changed.
