I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad I'm also his friend.
I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.
I have to remind my dad 'Journalists - no matter how many cigars they smoke with you - are not your friends so don't talk to them.'
They have had such a crazy life living with me as their dad. Not crazy but different from their friends.
My dad never blew anything up but he probably had friends who did. He and my mom have always preached that the pen is mightier than a Molotov cocktail.
My dad he is such a soft man. Even if he has these opinions about my boyfriends he will be the sweetest guy. He will make you feel like you're fascinating and awesome even if he doesn't like you that much.
My friends say 'Man you're going to have kids sleeping on pillowcases with your face on it! You're going to be on toothbrushes and magnets and stuff.' I guess now that I'm a dad I'm thrilled about that.
I asked my daughter when she was 16 What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going to be honest Dad most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.
My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends but you'll never have enemies because people will always know where you're coming from.'
My dad said to me growing up: 'When all is said and done if you can count all your true friends on one hand you're a lucky man.'
Being a father being a friend those are the things that make me feel successful.
There is no glory in war yet from the blackness of its history there emerge vivid colours of human character and courage. Those who risked their lives to help their friends.
And as a child I was filled with passionate admiration for acts of civic courage I had seen performed by an elderly military doctor who was a friend of my family.
He who loses wealth loses much he who loses a friend loses more but he that loses his courage loses all.
Courage my friends 'tis not too late to build a better world.
Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind spare to us our friends soften to us our enemies.
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
I hated the idea of a high school sweetheart. Growing up oh my God it just made me sick. I wanted to have a range of cool boyfriends. I wanted to travel around and date these interesting men. Then it just happened. You fall in love.
L.A.'s cool I had a run with it to where it just pretty much wore me out. I love the weather and I have great friends there great family but I really cannot take a lot of the culture. Like Nashville where everybody's a songwriter everybody out there is an actor.
I was always a sci-fi and fantasy geek. I was in the 'Lord of the Rings' club and all my cool friends made fun of me.
Picking a best friend who stands up for what she believes in is true to herself and allows you to be yourself without judgement of how 'cool' you are? Well now you're picking a friend for life.
People spend hours constantly checking and tweeting and Facebooking. And it's cool to check up on your friends and see what's going on in the world but it's not cool to spend five hours of your day on the computer looking at the Internet.
I just thought it could make a really cool movie. It's not that it's just a buddy comedy but it's all about two guys hating each other and towards the end they're good friends. I liked that these two guys were best friends from the very beginning and they're crazy.
I am a very open social friendly person and when it comes to people approaching me and asking for an autograph I am totally cool with doing any of that. It's a lot of fun.
I suppose that by being absent from the music business it appeared that I just dropped out but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.
