I had been working ordsprog

en I had been working as a studio musician very intensely all through the 1970s, and I really never left LA. I would just get up in the morning and work on an amazing amount of records. But then Billy Payne and I were playing with Bob Seger in 1986 or '87, and he told me they wanted to put the band back together. We had all been friends and colleagues since 1967, so I just said, 'Sign me up, man.

en That of a musician, but a musician playing in small jazz clubs or alone. I do not give concerts. I come on stage and play with my friends in the band, all of whom are better musicians than me, ... The Curse of the Jade Scorpion.

en In 1995, I ran into a brick wall. I had no band anymore, and the music business was getting quite soulless. It seemed like the big record companies were mostly interested in eating each other and promoting music as product. They didn't really believe in rock and roll anymore. How was someone like me going to fit into that? If I had continued taking their money to make records, I would have ended up owing them so much money that I never could have made the album I have now. They wanted my soul in hock, and I refused to fall into their trap. I just stopped putting out records when I knew they would turn out shitty, and I waited until I found a company [Sanctuary] that really wanted a Billy Idol record. It's not just a (expletive) job! You can't go out there with people you hate and music that sucks. I suppose it was a gamble staying away so long, but it's paid off because I'm happy. I'm happy to be Billy Idol with a quality Billy Idol record. How's that for a marketing tactic?

en What's just as amazing is that she had to start work on the last season of 'Friends,' so she was going back and forth between our shooting locations and the studio, and from bubbly Monica to the deeply troubled Sophie.

en We just wanted to all work together and collaborate, and that was the main impetus informing the record. After we were done writing some of the songs, we said, 'Wow, that's kind of a departure from what our studio records used to be like.' It ended up being real interesting. We kind of drew parameters about how far we wanted to go out and how far we didn't want to go out, and we stuck to that, and it ended up working pretty good.

en One of (Juan's) friends told me that he thought he made a mistake and wanted to come back. I told him all he had to do was pick up the phone and ask me, and that's all it took. I don't hold grudges at all. It's a good working relationship, which is what you need to have success.

en We hardly do the same concert twice in a row. It's such an amazing time to be alive, to be a musician, to be able to participate in the world of music. I feel we've got like a workshop, a studio filled with so many amazing pieces of music. It's a toolbox from which we can build our concerts.

en We hooked up with Steve because we liked his resume and what we heard of his past work. It was a stretch for us to be working with him and a stretch for him to be working with a band like us, because he'd never been in the studio with anyone as aggressive and heavy as we are.

en We spent about a month in the studio living and working in a farmhouse outside of Raleigh. In the process, we learned a lot about recording and about the dynamics of our band in the studio.

en We'll make that decision in the morning. I told my followers tonight just what I told my husband Tom this morning. We win either way. I win because I get to go back to Austin and get to work on solutions, or I win because I get my family back. I got to spend a lot of today with my grandson, who is 16 months old, and I had forgotten how wonderful that is.

en The biggest challenge was staying away from the studio. Some days I would go straight to the studio in the morning and wouldn't get any food in me until I left at 10 p.m.
