“I have my suits especially made in 50 per cent polyester. That way when I'm going to a gig I can just stuff them in a bag, whip them out and they don't looked creased when I'm on stage.”

“My bag always weighs a ton. I carry my whole bathroom with me. You never know what's going to happen in a day!”

“I'm not going to be anybody's punching bag.”
