There is very little genuine rock and roll out there at the moment - but Steve Conte has hit the nail on the head with this one!

Men are shallow - we don't remember things like women do. Or we don't bring it up and blurt it out at inappropriate moments. When bridges are trying to be built, we don't detonate them.

Lots of people say it's the song. For me, it's not always the song - there's something bigger: the spirit of an artist.

I couldn't turn down The Rolling Stones. A real man would never turn down the chance of working with legends like them.

I really need to push myself and try my hardest every time, because I come from the premise that I'm not very good and I have to give my best. Otherwise, I don't deliver.

I can't make two records at the same time. Whatever I do, I have to concentrate on and put everything in, because if I don't, I'm just not good.

My personality is very good for nurturing. I'm very empathetic to my artists. You speak to anyone who's worked with me and they'll say, "Oh yeah, Steve's great. He doesn't have the ego."

For me, the singer is actually the most important element. When I work with someone, it all comes down to whether I like the singer or not.

I am not a rock producer. I don't see that. I once turned down Guns N' Roses. I don't like shouting. I'm a melody guy. I love great melody.

I am completely serious. When I decide to do something, I decide to really do it.

I do believe in art and commerce coming together.

We tell ourselves that intimacy (and marriage) takes two people who are willing to work at it-but, unfortunately, we rarely have the slightest inkling of our "job" assignments in this project.

A lie has no power, until you believe it.

Checked thoroughly, humans stink.

It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.

J.R. Angelella is a truly gifted writer. Zombie is one of the smartest, strangest, and most beautifully crafted coming-of-age stories you will ever encounter.

I feel happy about being busiest model in the world. It's good to be busy.

Vigor is contagious, and whatever makes us either think or feel strongly adds to our power and enlarges our field of action.

I'm always good for starting a bit of a tune and the first verse, but after that I just can never go anywhere. It takes me years, that's why I'm so slow.

If I be worthy, I live for my God to teach the heathen, even though they may despise me.

I don't have a schedule, but I can write for hours non-stop. If I'm drafting a book, I try and do a chapter a day. I dislike first drafts. Revision is a lot more fun, but it takes years.
