I was - I've always been a bit of perpetual adolescent.
-
The great thing about meditation is that I don’t ask for anything. Whereas when I pray I always ask for things!
-
I always try and find new things to think about and address. That really opens you up as a writer. I can write a lot of what I feel and it helps put it into clearer perspective.

I would have been an Egyptologist if I had had the schooling.
-
I was raised a Christian but have looked at other religions, some of the Eastern things. I was into Taoism for a while and Confucianism. Just different approaches and some have really stayed with me.
-
Other than dying, I think puberty is probably about as rough as it gets.
-
I meditate. Meditation helps me.
-
I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.
-
I was more than just a moody artist.
-
God has spoken to me differently through my life, and it has gotten better as I've gotten older. I don't know if that's my reception or his maturing.

The only good grades I ever got in school before I was kicked out were for creative writing. I thought that fiction might be in my future but then my career took a different path once the Beatles showed me what a blast being in a band could be. Writing my memoir Late, Late at Night reminded me how much I love the craft. So I decided to give fiction a shot again.Magnificent Vibration is the result. I’m still not quite sure where it came from, but once I got going, it practically wrote itself. I’ve heard writers I admire speak of that phenomenon, so maybe I’m on the right track.

Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.

Every actor wants to break out of the box that they put you in and that's where I'm heading, out of the box as fast as I can.
-
I took that time off - I knew it was messing me up, not being connected to a spiritual plane.
-
You always want to feel you're not the only one going through something unpleasant.

At this young age I am already sold on the idea of the dog. One of God's absolutely greatest inventions and one that needs no more tinkering. The dog is the perfect beast, companion, friend, shoulder to lean on, and scapegoat when too many cookies are missing. And a dog won't hold that against you, either. I am at peace sitting in silence with a dog.
-
I got sick of playing husbands and boyfriends because there was nothing there.
-
I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys - some very rare stuff.
-
Music is a 24-hour-a-day thing for me.
-
I'll watch any show on the History Channel.
-
My first crush was Hayley Mills when I was a little kid in England. I used to kiss her picture goodnight.
-
I used to cut guitars out of a piece of cardboard to copy the Strat look. I used a backwards tennis racket for a while and graduated to the cardboard cutout.
-
There will always be rock stars, but I don't know how much depth and longevity they'll have.
-
I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.
