All I ever thought about was music and being a musician.
Americans are really good at throwing their hands up and walking away from things.
Essentially I'm a melody person in a rhythm age, and that's what Broadway is really about, the songs.
Every artist thinks his most recent work is his best. If you didn't feel like that, you wouldn't do anything.
Heck, I feel guilty getting my senior discounts.
I am what I am. Whatever it was that made me what I am, I thought I should stay around and be that.
I could forgive anybody.
I don't see how 'Hunchback' could ever appeal to children. It's a very adult story that deals with repressed sexuality.
I don't understand the joy of sitting in my house with nothing to do.
I don't wanna be a solo artist. I wanna be in Styx.
I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet.
I gave my life for Styx and I'm really very proud of it and I didn't want to perform that music and screw it up.
I like being on a team and that's what a band is like. It's us against them, strength in numbers, and sharing the success and failure.
I lived at the greatest time in the history of mankind to be a musician.
I never imagined that I would have a successful solo career, let alone one in musical theater.
When the Beatles broke up, I thought to myself, 'Dude, seriously?'
The Beatles are here, and if you could see me my hand is on the ceiling. Styx is here, and my hand is in the basement.
It's always best when everyone in the group is on the same page.
There is one thing in this world that I'm better that than anyone else and that is being me.
I was lucky by birth.
It's a good job when you get to have fans come up to you and thank you for writing your songs.
The fact is, for the first 10 years I toured as a solo artist, I wasn't playing any of the songs I didn't write or sing.
When I'm not on the road I'm in the studio every day.
I was damn lucky to choose this profession. I had no idea when I started out that I was really an illusionist and a magician.
Music is magic.
Nobody can figure out why it does what it does to human beings. But there is no other art form greater than music.
People go to musicals because they want to hear some really good songs.
Many musicals you can take and throw in the garbage can because no one took the time to write a song you can care about.
I'm very proud of it. 'Hunchback' contains some of my favorite music I've ever written in my life.
