I always think in life passion supersedes everything.

Most bands have a two-year success rate. By the third year, it's sort of over. Here we are in Poison still together 26 years later.

Any band that is out there chasing it is doing more destruction to music then someone who is out there playing what they truly feel.

Thoroughly read all your contracts. I really mean thoroughly.

I don't want to be a reality retro star.

For me as a solo artist, I never want to be a nostalgia act.

Everyone wants to go to the party and the red carpet, but my life is 90% the work.

I'm addicted to creating and writing.

I do meet-and-greets at every show and meet a minimum of 20-35 fans at each.

I am truly independently owned and operated.
