I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight and they all had big voices too just different than mine.

I've done some acting and a lot of different things but mostly it's the music.

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening but we're having a good time.

I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person if I live to be an old person. The water I miss and the air there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life.

I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears however measured or far away.

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

I'm pretty horrible at relationships and haven't been in many long-term ones. Leaving and moving on - returning to a familiar sense of self-reliance and autonomy - is what I know that feeling is as comfortable and comforting as it might be for a different kind of person to stay.

Cinema is visually powerful it is a complete experience reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.

The only problem is I can't get into PG-13 Land. I just get stuck in R rated movies which they would love us to make PG-13 movies but I never get there. But I think that you've got to make them different. You've got to switch them up.

Of course for many years directors have had to go on the road with their movies and promote them and I've done that since the beginning. So that's not new but the forms of it are different such as with the internet.

The cardinal sin in sports what could really wreck it is not cheating to win which has gone on forever but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports' appeal which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed they're no different from movies they're scripted.

Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that they never translate exactly.

I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors on small movies and big movies.

Coming Home had been made before and Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter different kinds of movies.

I am so happy because I want more people to like martial arts movie not just martial arts audience. Even martial arts can be used in comedy in drama in horror movies in different kinds of movies.

If you're not a real chameleon of an actor and if you're not one of those guys who can really shape-change themselves all the time one of the ways to keep pushing yourself and keep changing is to be in different kinds of movies.
