Having regrets and things, it just takes your time away.

I wasn`t the one managing my career back then, that was the problem-I was 14 years old.

Each song is a lifetime, it begins and ends, and there`s a journey taken within the songs.

I have an extremely addictive personality. I`m an extremist.

I believe in a higher power and I believe in good and bad, right and wrong. You sleep in the bed you make.

Stay on top of your finances. Don`t leave that up to others.

If there is anything I would tell anybody in this profession, it is never believe your own press.

I have no problem with starting from scratch.

I have no problem paying my dues and I have no problem going out and working the club circuit.

Aerosmith went on The Simpsons and they had fun.

When I was a kid, I went from ground zero to Pluto. The first place I played was the Houston Astrodome.

The stardom thing happened and now I`m trying to make a comeback, if you want to call it that.

I smoked heroin for six years. Kicking the habit? Hard wasn`t the word for it.

I`m not a slave to anything anymore. And I never will be again.

Don`t believe your own publicity. You can`t; you`ll start thinking that you`re better than you are.

Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what`s in your heart.

I`ve come to understand that there`s always something positive, even in a negative situation.

Just do what you like to do, and do it all the time.

They had me doing Beach Boys remakes and all that. I was basically a marionette.

Frank Sinatra is the only one that went from teen idol to superstar.

I`ve always written songs, even when I wasn`t doing anything with my personal life in music.

There are certain things people always bring up with me. The accident. The drugs. And how tight my pants were.

Somehow I wasn`t completely crucified by the critics. I don`t know how or why, I probably should`ve been.
