The past can be changed by the future.
A lot of things inspire me - especially pain.
If you really believe and really make a commitment, anything can happen.
Rock saved me. You can break drums and scream out loud - if you do that in the street you get arrested.
If I die, I'm going to die onstage.
I'm going to quit music. Then the government of Japan asked me to write a piano concerto - that was an offer I couldn't refuse, so that brought me back to music again.
I wanted to have the strongest band. I was always looking for the strongest characters.
I just do in the stadium the same thing. I scream and I become naked mentally. I give everything to our fans.
Everything is legit onstage. You can go crazy. I can express my anger. I can cry. Whoa, this is the coolest place!
