I never had a real job either. I sort of fell out of school and ended up playing guitar.

Being a songwriter, singer, and a great part of a unit is more important than being Joe Guitar Hero.

Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing.

If there is any justice in the world, then eighties rock will never again serve to blight humanity as it did in that dark decade!

I like my guitars to be kinda worn. I don't like it when they're all shiny.

I actually knew I was going to be perfect for Def Leppard, sorry I hate to say that but I knew it.

The nature of touring is packaging acts together that have strong catalogues of music. It's about making sure that it's a winning combination. It's really about giving people value for their money.

I don't know how anyone could vote Republican. It's so obvious that their only interest is keeping the rich rich.

If you apologize for something that isn't your fault in the first place, you, in effect, confirm their belief that it is your fault.

It feels great to be on top of the world but the greatest feeling is when your feet are on the ground.

I am really obsessed with finding melodies that just hypnotize you and sink you into a song.

To be free from false identity and the hypnosis of conditioning is the biggest smile and joy you are going to feel in your life.

A holy man is a mighty weapon in the hands of God.
