After 12 intense years of rock music, I was happy to get away from making a record and going out on a tour. When I did it, I wanted to feel inspired. After a while I finally had my fill working on other people's music, and I started coming up with music on my own and said, 'This could be for me.'
One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.
I am very friendly with lots of people in rock'n'roll, because I spent so much time with them over the years through Mick's work.
