Our families and friends all understand what we're going through. We try to have time for everything and everyone, but sometimes that's just impossible. With our success comes a lot of extra responsibility, and we have to be prepared to make sacrifices for the band.

We're all like brothers in this band, and we owe each other the time and effort required to keep us on top.
Steve Clark Def Leppard
