It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.
I like unkempt; I don't mind if I have holes in my jacket or whatever. I think people should look more the way they feel.
Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.
I'm not interested in a persona.
I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.
If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest, I would've said, 'That's not how it works. ' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.
I think that some of the best Crowes stuff we did had that spontaneous vibe. Thats something thats always interested me in music. Im not really the kind of person to get too bogged down in the details. I think that takes away from the emotion and the vibe of what youre doing.
I think I've learned more from women than anyone else, and perhaps from love - what a wonderful testing ground, what a wonderful place to see and sense our limitations, to know that the pain reflects your state of awareness and not being able to hide from it.
From time to time the continent shifts, and everything that isn't fastened down slides into Southern California.
I love splashing the blood around.
Kids love me because I write stories that tell them about their capacity for evil. I'm one of the few writers who lets you cleanse yourself that way.
